drag and drop append to field

[yair 0]

both input fileds are configured to accept file drops.

the first works, the second doesn't replace data content but appends to it.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>

$file1 = "test.jpg"
$file2 = "test2.jpg"

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 625, 200, 192, 124, -1, 0x00000018); WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES
$file1GUI = GUICtrlCreateInput($file1, 80, 70, 513, 21)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)

$file2GUI = GUICtrlCreateInput($file2, 80, 118, 513, 21)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

$msg = 0
While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
WEnd

The only difference I see when I start your script is that the content of the first input field is marked and therefore replaced when dropping a file.

The second input field isn't marked and therefore the dropped file is appended.

ok, i didnt notice that.

so i understand i need to change the focus to the second input filed when i drag.

can you hint to how?

[water 1,868]

To do it manually just tab to the second field.

If you want to do it automatically then you'll have to catch the GUI event of drag&drop (example)

thanks, this work

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$file1 = "test.jpg"
$file2 = "test2.jpg"

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 625, 200, 192, 124, -1, 0x00000018); WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES

$file1GUI = GUICtrlCreateInput($file1, 80, 70, 513, 21)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)

$file2GUI = GUICtrlCreateInput($file2, 80, 118, 513, 21)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

$msg = 0
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED
            If (@GUI_DropId == 3) Then
                GUICtrlSetState($file1GUI, $GUI_FOCUS)
                GUICtrlSetData($file1GUI,@GUI_DRAGFILE)
            ElseIf (@GUI_DropId == 4) Then
                GUICtrlSetState($file2GUI, $GUI_FOCUS)
                GUICtrlSetData($file2GUI,@GUI_DRAGFILE)
            EndIf
    EndSelect
WEnd

btw, whats the easiest way to convert a control id from

@GUI_DropId == 3

@GUI_DropId == $file1GUI

[water 1,868]

It's the same.

@GUI_DropId = Control identifier where the drop occurred = the value (ControlId) returned by GUICtrlCreateInput.

So the line

If (@GUI_DropId == 3) Then

can be written as

If (@GUI_DropId == $file1GUI) Then
