Trigger GUI Window's $GUI_DROPACCEPTED event?

[nu852 0]

Suppose I drag drop a file onto the window, I expect that it trigger the GUI Window's $GUI_DROPACCEPTED event. However, It doesn't. The GUI Window's would only be triggerred by the $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE and $GUI_EVENT_RESTORE events.

I would like to know whether $GUI_DROPACCEPTED event could be used in GUI window.

Thanks in advance.

my testing code

expandcollapse popup

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

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $parent1
    
    Opt("GUICoordMode", 2)
    Opt("GUIResizeMode", 1)
    Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

   ;$parent1 = GUICreate("Parent1")
    $parent1 = GUICreate("Parent1",-1,-1,-1,-1,-1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)

    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_DROPPED, "SpecialEvents")

    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "SpecialEvents")
    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE, "SpecialEvents")
    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_RESTORE, "SpecialEvents")

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
EndFunc

Func SpecialEvents()
    MsgBox(0, "Window Event", "Trigger SpecialEvents")
    Select
        Case @GUI_CtrlId = $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED
           ;MsgBox(0, "Close Pressed", "ID=" & @GUI_CtrlId & " WinHandle=" & @GUI_WinHandle)
            MsgBox(0, "@GUI_DRAGFILE ", @GUI_DRAGFILE )

        Case @GUI_CtrlId = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            MsgBox(0, "Close Pressed", "ID=" & @GUI_CtrlId & " WinHandle=" & @GUI_WinHandle)
            Exit

        Case @GUI_CtrlId = $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE
            MsgBox(0, "Window Minimized", "ID=" & @GUI_CtrlId & " WinHandle=" & @GUI_WinHandle)

        Case @GUI_CtrlId = $GUI_EVENT_RESTORE
            MsgBox(0, "Window Restored", "ID=" & @GUI_CtrlId & " WinHandle=" & @GUI_WinHandle)
    EndSelect
EndFunc  ;==>SpecialEvents

$GUI_EVENT_DROPPED is only triggered when a file/folder is dropped on a control with the $GUI_DROPACCEPTED style. Try adding this -

GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)

If you want to drop files/folders on the main GUI, you'll have to register and use the $WM_DROPFILES message.

EDIT -

Or you could hack around it like this -

GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 10, 100, 100)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)

And make the label the size of your GUI.
