OWC11 and VS2005 PivotTable FieldList Drag And Drop Fails

[Johnyc]

I am using a VS2005 Windows Forms app to host an OWC11 PivotList Control. I
can move fields from the FieldList to the PivotList by using the "Add" button
at the bottom of the list, but when I try to move a field with the mouse to
the Pivotlist the mouse cursor changes to the "No entry" sign and I can't
drop the field to any area of the PivotList. This problem occurs both at
design time and at run time.

Is anyone having the same problem? if so, how have you fixed it?

Thanks,
Johnyc

Hi Johny,

Based on my testing, the problem seems to occur in the design time only.
In runtime, I can drag/drop the fields from Pivot List to the Pivot Table
field List.
I test with the OLAP footmart 2000 budget cube.
e.g. I can drag/drop the Account to the Column field, drag/drop the Amount
to the Data Field.

So can you send me a simple reproduce project with a link to the footmark
2000 together with the reproduce steps so that I can do further research.

Peter,

I created the small project you described and found that it worked as you
described. The Drag and Drop of FieldList items doesn't work at design time
but does work at Runtime. When I went back to my original project it also
worked the same way. There may have been something wrong in my original
connection string. Anyway, it is working correctly at runtime and that's
what matters.

Thanks for responding to my question.
