DanielDaniel Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hi all, I am fairly new to AutoIt, so forgive this question if it is basic... I want to have a Window with an icon on it. If the user drags a file onto this icon then I want AutoIt to receive the path to this file and perform an action based on it. So, anyone know how I can create an icon control that will accept a drag/drop action and then read the filepath from the item dropped onto it? Cheers, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 2, 2010 Moderators Share Posted November 2, 2010 DanielDaniel,Welcome to the AutoIt forum. What you want to do is not too hard to code. You just have to set the correct states for the GUI and the control and then use the Drag/Drop macros kindly provided by the Devs. Look for the <<<<<<<<<< lines: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) GUICreate('Drop file onto icon', 300, 300, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, 'Quit') $hIcon = GUICtrlCreateIcon("C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Icons\filetype-blank.ico", -1, 10, 10, 40, 40) GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_DROPPED, 'DropFile') GUISetState() While 1 Sleep(100) WEnd Func DropFile() If @GUI_DropId = $hIcon Then MsgBox(0, "File Title", @GUI_DragFile) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< EndFunc ;==>DropFile Func Quit() Exit EndFunc ;==>QuitM23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Melba23 Posted November 2, 2010 Moderators Share Posted November 2, 2010 DanielDaniel,My pleasure. When you reply in future please use the "Add Reply" button at the top and bottom of the page rather then the "Reply" button in the post itself. That way you do not get the contents of the previous post quoted in your reply and the whole thread becomes easier to read.
