Martin,
First and foremost:
Adding [STAThread] to Main solves the problem I had!
One other problem I am having is tooltips disappearing for good after having closed a local menu by clicking on its “parent window”, But probably this has nothing to do with IronPython! (but with my own code or .NET)
Some remarks about Visual Studio:
I use VS 2003 as a convenient editor and have installed IronPythonConsole as an external tool, running it with a mouseclick. Adding the [STAThread] initially did not seem to have any positive effect on the AllowDrop problem.
That all changed when I ran the modified IronPythonConsole just once from the commandline (with my Python app’s main module as command parameter). The bug had disappeared. When I used VS after that to run IronPythonConsole, the bug did not show up again. However, when I remove the [STAThread] attribute the bug reappears, both from the command line and from VS.
I am telling you this because you had some problems with Visual Studio “often complaining etc.” I haven’t the remotest idea what’s causing this inconsistent behaviour, but it’s clear to me that even only running stuff from VS can be tricky at times.

Actually, I wonder if this is related to the recent change in IronPython. When debugging IronPython we found out that Visual Studio often complains about the aplication thread being marked as STA and not pumping messages and our investigations showed that the way to make Visual Studio happy was to remove the STAThread attribute from IronPython's Main and go with the default.
It creates an interesting class of problems, having the engine be marked one way, and the application running in it needing different apartment settings.
Could you try putting the STAThread attribute back on the IronPython Main and let me know if you got things working that way? I am interested to know what implications it may have to have the main IronPython thread marked either way.
thanks very much Martin

Behalf Of J. de Hooge Hi,
In the past months I've been coding quite extensively using previous versions of IronPython (upto 0.9.3) and the .NET 2.0 framework beta. One of the things I've been using a lot is drag&drop.
Recently I've downloaded IP 0.9.5 and the "final" .NET 2.0 distribution. Setting the AllowDrop property of e.g. a Forms.ListView to True now results in an exception message: DragDrop registration failed.
From the internet I've gathered that I should change the ApartmentState of my main thread to STA, using an attribute. But how can I do that from IP? And why is MTA the default, causing this problem?
Or is there a different solution. Any help appreciated.
Thanks Jacques de Hooge |
