Not really. What's this "item from the display"? I don't understand if you're just dropping a single or multiple files or multiple files individually. And what those functions "it" can call? Are you writing to the text file that you dropped onto the UI? Mike's VI only handles text files. If you want to open images, you have to modify the "OpenFile" case.

Is this what you want? PathControl.vi

I'm not sure if the drag&drop operation is the problem here. To me it seems more like the presentation of the files could be problematic. You are trying to do this for multiple files, right? LabVIEW isn't the language of choice when trying to make pretty UI stuff. OTOH I haven't used movie maker for a long time so I can't quite remember how it represents pictures - I'm imagining tiles (There's a demo somewhere that shows how to implement windows 8/10 style UI tiles on a FP but I can't find it now). But as a newcomer to LV, you'd be entering the world of pain.

So...instead of asking a question you made an article, which is usually used for showing people how to do a thing. And instead of showing someone how to do that thing you asked the question? Then in the forums where you would ask the question you just link to that article? Why didn't you just ask the question here? I've edited your post so the question is in the forums where it belongs. As for your question what have you tried? Have you searched this topic, I remember finding several semi-working solutions involving hidden path controls.
