Drag multiple files into edit control

[N W]

I'm trying to set up an edit control that allows me to drag multiple files into it. (Then I will process those files in a later step.)

I can type in multiple lines to this control, but every time I drag a file in, it replaces the contents, rather than appending.

Additionally (relatedly?), when I drag multiple files into it at once, only one appears.

I've browsed around the forums a lot and haven't seen anything that answers this.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Aaaaargh!", 830, 800, -1  , -1 , -1, 0x00000018); WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES

$CANCELbtn = GUICtrlCreateButton     ("Cancel"   , 750,  5, 60, 20)
$OKbtn = GUICtrlCreateButton     ("OK"   , 750,  35, 60, 20)

$mylist = GUICtrlCreateEdit ("Add Files here!",10,70,200,300, BitOr($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_EDIT, $ES_MULTILINE) )
GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_ACCEPTFILES)
GUISetState () 

$msg = 0
While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $CANCELbtn
            exitloop
        Case $msg = $OKbtn
            MsgBox(4096,"result",GUICtrlRead($mylist))
    EndSelect
Wend

exit

Thanks a lot!

Try

GUICtrlCreateList

I dont know how to put stuff in there.

But it may -hlep- you

Creating a list instead of an edit would be fine, but I can't get the file into there, either.

maybe this

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Aaaaargh!", 630, 600, -1  , -1 , -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES ); 0x00000018); WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES

$CANCELbtn = GUICtrlCreateButton     ("Cancel"   , 750,  5, 60, 20)
$OKbtn = GUICtrlCreateButton     ("OK"   , 750,  35, 60, 20)

$mylist = GUICtrlCreateEdit ("Files will be Added here!",10,70,200,300);, BitOr($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_EDIT, $ES_MULTILINE) )
$myinput = GUICtrlCreateInput("Drop File here", 10, 372, 160, 20)
GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_ACCEPTFILES)
$mybtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("&Insert", 170, 372, 40, 20)
GUISetState ()

$msg = 0
While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    Select
    Case $msg = $mybtn
            GUICtrlSetData($mylist, (GUICtrlRead($myinput)) & @CRLF, 1)
        Case $msg = $CANCELbtn
            exitloop
        Case $msg = $OKbtn
            MsgBox(4096,"result",GUICtrlRead($mylist))
    EndSelect
Wend

exit

Hmmm. A step in the right direction, I suppose--thanks!

But I want to be able to drag multiple files at once (i.e., select several at once in Windows Explorer, and drag them as a group). Still can't figure that out.
