blumi Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 When I move a file from Explorer on the gui via Drag'n'Drop the file should be opened automaticly. For expample, I move a video file on the gui and the gui opens the file with vlc. Is this possible with autoit?

blumi Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 Sounds good. Can you tell me some key words I have to search for to realize it, that would help. ;-)

Moderators Melba23 Posted October 22, 2013 Moderators Posted October 22, 2013 blumi,Search the forum for $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES & $GUI_DROPACCEPTED - they are the styles you need to apply to your GUI and the relevant controls - and @GUI_DragFile - which will hold the filename. Then you can look to Run or ShellExecute to execute the file.

blumi Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 Okay, found some nice code. Drag & Drop the file on the input field on the gui it works fine. Did some tests without the input field but didn't work. How to handle a gui without an input field where I can drag & drop the file on it? #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <array.au3> Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) GUICreate("Test GUI", 300, 100, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_DROPPED, "On_Drop_InFilename") GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, '_exit') GUICtrlCreateInput('', 28, 20, 240, 20) GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) Func On_Drop_InFilename() GUICtrlSetData(@GUI_DropId, @GUI_DragFile) MsgBox(0, "test", "file: " & @GUI_DragFile) EndFunc ;==>On_Drop_InFilename Func _exit() Exit 1 EndFunc ;==>_exit Do Sleep(10) Until 0
wraithdu Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 That's a bit more complicated, as you'll have to deal with window messages directly. You'll want to search for the WM_DROPFILES message and the DragQueryFile / DragFinish functions.

AutoBert Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Yes, just use GuiCtrlSetOnevent and GuiSetOnEvent instead or GuiGetMsg. As a Univerlisat you should know what must be done to get it working in OnEventMode.
topten Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Great, thanx AutoBert I didnt notice that $FILES_DROPPED becomes a control there, so, I can use GuiCtrlSetOnevent $FILES_DROPPED = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
