Registering Events

Hi everyone,

I am wanting to create a program that does some tidying of MP3 filenames and would like to be able to DRAG a list of files in explorer and DROP them into say, a LIST control.

I can get this to work on an EDIT control using the attached unfinished example, but have to click the 'Tidy' button to get it to do work.

Is there anyway I can setup a GUIRegisterMsg to catch the DROP event and therefore remove the need to click the 'Tidy' button.

P.S. Where do people search to get the information required for the GUIRegisterMsg event

MP3Renamer.au3

here's an example to demonstrate multiple filedrops on a list.
