Filter Drag and Drop

[Komawoyo]

is there a way to Let only certain file to be process when drag and dropping? Vb Scripts (*.vbs)

I don't think there's a way of using filters, but you can do like this for example:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Opt("GuiOnEventMode",1)
GUICreate("Form1", 200, 63, 229, 170, -1, BitOR($WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES,$WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE))
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Drag and drop a file here", 12, 18, 177, 21)
GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE,"_exit")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_DROPPED,"_Dropped")
While 1
    Sleep(25)
WEnd
Func _exit()
    Exit
EndFunc
Func _Dropped()
    If StringRight(@GUI_DragFile,3)<>"vbs" Then
        GUICtrlSetData($Input1,"Invalid File Type!")
        Sleep(700)
        GUICtrlSetData($Input1,"Drag and drop a file here")
    EndIf
EndFunc

The above doesn't work if the control is Edit.

Also @GUI_DRAGFILE doesn't support multiple files.

Tho maybe this thing was fixed since v3.2.4.9 which I'm still using, I don't know.

Anyway, you may also take a look at this, which doesn't suffer from the issues:

#412438

In any case, filtering must be done by you, like Nahuel said.

Well yeah, it was just an example. What I meant is that he should do the filtering job.
