How to make script detect if drag/drop was used

[leuce]

G'day everyone

I have created EXE scripts in the past that worked with drag-and-drop, but I would like to create a script that can detect whether it was double-clicked or whether something was dragged and dropped onto it. How can I do that?

So, what I need to do is to let the script determine if $CmdLine[1] exists or not. If it exists, the script should use the drag-and-dropped file as the first parameter, but if not, then the script should ask the user (via e.g. a FileOpenDialog) what the first parameter is.

However, my problem is that I can't check if $CmdLine[0] is zero unless $CmdLine is already an array. I can't check if $CmdLine is an array unless $CmdLine already exists. However, if I declare $CmdLine, then it destroys the first parameter (if there is one). So how do I get around this problem?

I would really like to make ONE script (not two) that the user can either double-click or drag-and-drop to.

Thanks

Wait... this seems to work:

If $CmdLine[0] = 1 Then
MsgBox (0, "", "is one", 0)
EndIf

If $CmdLine[0] = 0 Then
MsgBox (0, "", "is none", 0)
EndIf

This would mean that $CmdLine is automatically always an array in any script... right?

leuce,

I believe that is correct - $CmdLine is created automatically by AutoIt as the script is launched and sized according to the actual command line passed to it.
