$GUI_ACCEPTFILES

[flyingboz]

I have been unable to find a way to handle a drag and drop operation of multiple files.

Found no references in docs / search.

Possible or no? If possible, what am I missing?

I am able to handle files one at a time, but would like the add'l ease of use

that supporting the shift- or ctrl- select would bring.

Thanks!

This might be offtopic, but you know what I think would be cool? If drag/drop operations were handled differently. Like maybe have every object able to be dropped on, or have it so you can just drop on the background of the GUI, and then we can make our own handlers. That way we could have things like dropping a file on the window, and then have the window load that file instead of just pasting text into an edit.

... Just my misplaced two cents.

I'd still like to know if handling multiple files is possible... Congratulations to the Au3 development team on the new release!

Try this :

Global $var

Global $mypath

Global $multi_file

Global $thepath

Global $nb

Global $list

$var = FileOpenDialog("Open", "", "Texte file (*.txt)", 1 + 4 )

If @error Then

MsgBox(262144 + 16,"Programme QUIT","No file select", 30)

Exit

Endif

If StringInStr($var,"|") Then

$var = StringSplit( $var, "|")

$mypath = $var[1] & "\"

$multi_file = 1

Else

$thepath = StringSplit($var,"\")

For $nb = 1 to ($thepath[0]-1)

$mypath = $mypath & $thepath[$nb] & "\"

Next

$multi_file = 0

EndIf

MsgBox(0, "The path is", $mypath, 30)

If $multi_file Then

For $nb = 2 to $var[0]

$list = $list & $mypath & $var[$nb] & @CRLF

Next

MsgBox(0, "Files selected are", $list, 30)

Else

MsgBox(0, "File selected is", $var, 30)

EndIf

May be this can help you.

Thanks for the reply.

I know that FileOpenDialog() can support it -- I'm specifically asking about the GUI drag/drop capability allowed by $GUI_ACCEPTFILES --

I`m wondering about this myself, so I think I`ll join this

thread and ask : Is it possible ?!?

no only on file is possible. I should have name the state $GUI_ACCEPTFILE. In fact as the main window must have the $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES extended style. I just cut and paste too much for defining the GUI control state.

Thanks for the resonse, jpm. It's good to know that I'm not doing something stupid. (this time.) Do you anticipate adding this functionality?

An add'l line in the docs would be of use, too.
