Forbidden icon shows when trying to drop a file on an edit box?

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
$Form1 = GUICreate("Test", 535, 520, 919, 435,$WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 8, 8, 520, 425)
GUICtrlSetState($Input, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED) ; Enable drag and drop
GUICtrlSetData($Input, "")
$Close = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 448, 448, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    Case $Close
      Exit
    Case $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED ; File dropped on input box
      GUICtrlSetData($Input,@GUI_DragFile)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Your GUICreate is erroneous.  Should be :

$Form1 = GUICreate("Test", 535, 520, 919, 435, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
