My previous question concerned dragging and dropping into a ListBox and the answer was in the Drop event I had to execute code like this:

Array a = (Array)e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop);

The other part of this is that I have to set the AllowDrop property to true on the ListBox. All that works fine.

But then when we come to a TextBox, setting AllowDrop to True doesn't work. I drag text into the field and the cursor with the red slash through it persists when it enters the TextBox! I noticed the same thing months ago, but was busy with other things, so dropped the attempt to get dragging and dropping working into a TextBox. But when I got it working with a ListBox, I figured I now knew enough to get it working with a TextBox. No such luck! What am I missing?

Addendum: I just read that the WPF TextBox has drag and drop by default, and indeed dragging from one TextBox to another does work by default. But dragging and dropping from Windows Explorer to a WPF TextBox does not work whether or not AllowDrop is set to true, and that's precisely what I need. How can I get it?
