TMGR: Pointer May Not Indicate Drag-and-Drop Unavailable (151143)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Team Manager

This article was previously published under Q151143

SUMMARY

When you try to move or copy information by dragging it from one cell to another within Microsoft Team Manager or from an external application, the pointer indicates that a drop is not possible only if the pointer is not over a cell. This behavior occurs even if the data is not of the correct type to drop in that cell, or if the cell only displays calculated data.

This differs from the typical Windows behavior of displaying a "No Drop" pointer when the mouse pointer is positioned over an object that cannot accept the data.

MORE INFORMATION

If you try to drop information into a cell that cannot accept the data, nothing is entered and no error messages are generated. Additionally, if you try to drag information to a cell that cannot accept the data within the same instance of Microsoft Team Manager (which would move the data), the data is removed from the source cell and is not placed back into the plan.

You can recovered this loss if you click Undo Drag on the Edit menu before you perform any other action.
