You can drop a file into the path control and it will populate the path of the file.  If you need to read the file as soon as that happens, use an Event Structure and the path control's Value Change event.

[RavensFan]

Create a Value Change event in an event structure for the path control.

(Note, a Select Function with True and False inputs is a Rube Goldberg)

I dont want to  drop file into the path control i want to drop it anywhere in my window ???

that is not really possible.

a hackish possibility would be to make a path-control fit the whole pane, and put other controls/indicators in front.

If you place a transparent path control over it, but then you can't interact with the graph anymore.

Only the path control allows to drag a file from the explorer into it! Do the same as with the graph, place a transparent path control over it!
