drag and drop files & title change

[UniStudent]

right i have to more really annoying problems but i think im just been thick first i really cant get the drag and drop files option to work. just have a list view and i want to be able to drag and drop files into it

expandcollapse popup

$tab3 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Custom Files")
$listview = GUICtrlCreateListView("File Name | Size | Risk", 10, 35, 595, 342)
GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DROPACCEPTED) ; to allow drag and dropping
$nItem = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Drag files into the window or use the Add Files button to make your selection",$listview)
GUICtrlSendMsg($listview, $LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE, $LVS_EX_GRIDLINES, $LVS_EX_GRIDLINES)
_GUICtrlListViewSetColumnWidth($listview, 0, 460)
_GUICtrlListViewSetColumnWidth($listview, 1, 80)
$button31 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add Files", 10, 385, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetTip( -1, "This button allows you to add indevidual files you wish to delete to the list above")

$button32 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Remove Form List", 110, 385, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetTip( -1, "This button allows you to remove an indevidual file from the list above")

$button33 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Remove All", 210, 385, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetTip( -1, "This button allows you to remove all the file from the list above")

$prioratize = GUICtrlCreateButton("Prioratise", 400, 385, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetTip( -1, "This button prioraises the files you have sulected acording to risk" & @CRLF & " 1 to 5, this will then apply a deletion algoritham acordingly")

$button34 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Delete", 505, 385, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetTip( -1, "This button delete all of the files you have selected")

GUIRegisterMsg ($WM_DROPFILES, "WM_DROPFILES_FUNC")

Func WM_DROPFILES_FUNC($hWnd, $msgID, $wParam, $lParam)
    Local $nSize, $pFileName
    Local $nAmt = DllCall("shell32.dll", "int", "DragQueryFile", "hwnd", $wParam, "int", 0xFFFFFFFF, "ptr", 0, "int", 255)
    For $i = 0 To $nAmt[0] - 1
        $nSize = DllCall("shell32.dll", "int", "DragQueryFile", "hwnd", $wParam, "int", $i, "ptr", 0, "int", 0)
        $nSize = $nSize[0] + 1
        $pFileName = DllStructCreate("char[" & $nSize & "]")
        DllCall("shell32.dll", "int", "DragQueryFile", "hwnd", $wParam, "int", $i, "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($pFileName), "int", $nSize)
        ReDim $gaDropFiles[$i+1]
        $gaDropFiles[$i] = DllStructGetData($pFileName, 1)
        $pFileName = 0
    Next
EndFunc

thats what iv got am i just been stupid or what its well annoying i really don't know how to call the drag function or even if im doing it right?????

next id like it so if a button is pressed then the top most title of the gui is changed accordingly i.e. the one in the blue bare at the top of the gui. iv looked at theat to and it seem pritty simple but i just cant get it to work??????

For the second issue, look at WinSetTitle().

First, I hope you will excuse me for a bit of a digression. It is fairly certain from what you have done so far that you are not at all thick. Not knowing something is not related to intellegence and neither is knowing something despite what people who know things sometimes think. So I think you shouldn't even think you're thick and you shouldn't say it in case you start to believe it even if it's not true. Smart is finding out things you don't know and then applying them which is what you are doing.

I think the way to handle drag and drop is easier than you thought. It might be that your method can be made to work, but since there is a simple way then I think you could do this, but it means using events.

expandcollapse popup

#include <guiconstants.au3>
#include <guilistview.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
$main = GUICreate('dragdrop',500,500,200,200,-1,$WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES); <--the main gui must have this style

$tab3 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Custom Files")
$listview = GUICtrlCreateListView("File Name | Size | Risk", 10, 35, 595, 342)
GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DROPACCEPTED); to allow drag and dropping
$nItem = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Drag files into the window or use the Add Files button to make your selection",$listview)
GUICtrlSendMsg($listview, $LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE, $LVS_EX_GRIDLINES, $LVS_EX_GRIDLINES)
_GUICtrlListViewSetColumnWidth($listview, 0, 460)
_GUICtrlListViewSetColumnWidth($listview, 1, 80)
$button31 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add Files", 10, 385, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetTip( -1, "This button allows you to add indevidual files you wish to delete to the list above")

$button32 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Remove Form List", 110, 385, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetTip( -1, "This button allows you to remove an indevidual file from the list above")

$button33 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Remove All", 210, 385, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetTip( -1, "This button allows you to remove all the file from the list above")

$prioratize = GUICtrlCreateButton("Prioratise", 400, 385, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetTip( -1, "This button prioraises the files you have sulected acording to risk" & @CRLF & " 1 to 5, this will then apply a deletion algoritham acordingly")

$button34 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Delete", 505, 385, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetTip( -1, "This button delete all of the files you have selected")
GUISetState()
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_DROPPED, 'DropFile');this is the way I do it
;GUIRegisterMsg ($WM_DROPFILES, "WM_DROPFILES_FUNC"); I don't know how to do this (but I'm not thick)
While 1
    
WEnd


Func DropFile()
If @GUI_DropId <> $listview Then Return
$f = @GUI_DragFile
_GUICtrlListViewInsertItem($listview,-1,$f);may not be the way you want to do it but just to demonstrate

EndFunc

Func Quit()
Exit
EndFunc

I'm afraid to use the method I suggested you have to have

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

and then write the script for events. In fact if you just add that line with your other Opt lines and run the script you will see that now the drag and drop works but nothing else does.

It's not difficult to change a script to events and I would guess that for your script it means about 20 minutes work.

For example to change this

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    Select
            Case $msg = $Filesitem
            GUIctrlSetState ($Iternettree,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($Deletedtree,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUIctrlSetState ($Systemtree,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($Nettree,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($SelectallInt,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($SelectallNet,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($SelectallDel,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($SelectallSys,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($UnSelectallNet,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($UnSelectallDel,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($UnSelectallInt,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($UnSelectallSys,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState($button1,$GUI_SHOW)
            GUICtrlSetState($button2,$GUI_SHOW)
            GUICtrlSetState($User,$GUI_SHOW)

you need to have

GUISetOnEvent($Filesitem, "setfilestates")

Func setfilestates()
            GUIctrlSetState ($Iternettree,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($Deletedtree,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUIctrlSetState ($Systemtree,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($Nettree,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($SelectallInt,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($SelectallNet,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($SelectallDel,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($SelectallSys,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($UnSelectallNet,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($UnSelectallDel,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($UnSelectallInt,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState ($UnSelectallSys,$GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetState($button1,$GUI_SHOW)
            GUICtrlSetState($button2,$GUI_SHOW)
            GUICtrlSetState($User,$GUI_SHOW)
        endFunc

Apologies if I'm being a bit obvious.
