Drag and Drop question

[satanttin]

Hello all,

I was wondering if it's possible to make a gui that lets me drag and drop files/programs in it and open it from there.
Also is this possible with an option to right click and delete an file/program from there?

Haven't wrote any code yet since i have no clue on how to start. So any help and tips are very welcome

 

Greetings.

You could use a listview
Try this to start

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ListviewConstants.au3>

GUICreate("listview items", 420, 150, 100, 200, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
$listview = GUICtrlCreateListView("|column1|column2 ", 10, 10, 400, 130)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
GUICtrlSendMsg($listview, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 1, 300)

GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("|" & @Autoitexe & "|" & FileGetVersion(@Autoitexe ), $listview)
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @Autoitexe, -1)   
GUISetState()

While 1
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
   Switch $msg
       Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE 
           Exit
       Case $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED
           GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("|" & @GUI_DragFile & "|" & FileGetVersion(@GUI_DragFile), $listview)
           GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @GUI_DragFile, -1)   
   EndSwitch
Wend

@Mikell Could be my second choice rather have icons like u have on your desktop. Btw once i added a file with your script i can't open it or remove it.

 

@MikahS Thanks for the link i shall check this out!

Btw once i added a file with your script i can't open it or remove it.

​Hmm I said "to start" ... unless you want people make the complete script for you ?

Think i missed that part. And no i prefer writing everything myself actually.

I will take another look and hope i can do it

M'kay so i've put everything in oneventmode so it's easier for me to code with. So far i've tried a couple of things to make sure i can open the files from the gui without success.

The code i have so far is:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ListviewConstants.au3>

Global $listview, $Main, $test

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

Main()
Func Main()
$Main = GUICreate("listview items", 420, 150, 100, 200, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
$listview = GUICtrlCreateListView("|column1 ", 10, 10, 400, 130)

GUICtrlSetState($listview, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
GUICtrlSendMsg($listview, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 1, 365)

GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("|" & @Autoitexe & "|" , $listview)
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @Autoitexe, -1)
GUISetState()

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "stop")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_DROPPED, "Dropped")
GUISetOnEvent($test, "stop")
EndFunc

Func Dropped()
$test = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("|" & @GUI_DragFile & "|" , $listview)
        GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @GUI_DragFile, -1)
EndFunc

Func stop()
    MsgBox(0,"",@GUI_DragFile)
    Exit
EndFunc

While 1
    Sleep(50)
WEnd

Never worked with treeview before so sorry if the things i've tried are wrong. But as you see i've tried to make an guisetonevent for $test and the msgbox works it shows me the path of the file i dragged into my gui. altho if i put in multiple files it only shows me the last one i dragged into it. even if i selected the first on i dragged into.

And another thing is it doesn't work if i click on the treeviewitem just if i make an extra button like i used the X button for as a test.

is there another way so i can click the treeviewitem or do i really need to use some sort of a button?

 

Sorry if this wasn't clear i tried my best

Here is an example of multiple file drag & drop by guinness: link

Otherwise, you are actually working with a ListView control and you'll have to register the WM_NOTIFY event to open something on clicking an item.
