retrieving the path of a file that is dragged on my script's icon?

[Marc Lacrosse]

I would like the user of a compiled script to be allowed to drag a file in windows explorer and drop it on the icon or name of my compiled script .

this would launch the script with the dragged file path as a parameter.

There are languages where such a case is dealt with the same syntax as retrieving a pure command line parameter (as if the script had been launched with the following command : "Myscript.exe myfile.txt").

This does not seem to be the case with auto-it :

a simple script like the following does not work if I drag a file on the resulting exe :

if $CmdLine[0] < 1 then
    MsgBox(0,"Test CL & Drag'n Drop", "No file on CL or DnD")
Else
    MsgBox(0,"Selected File : ",$CmdLine[1]
EndIf

Would you please tell me how I may retrieve the path of a file that has been dropped on my compiled script's name ?

Thanks in advance

PS sorry if this has been answered yet : I was not able to find the answer in the docs or in the forum.

Works for me as long as you add the missing end bracket to the msgbox.

MsgBox(0,"Selected File : ",$CmdLine[1])

Apart from a missing closing bracket, there is nothing wrong with your code.
