Drag & Drop, everything, not just file names ?!

[Armand]

hey guys,

seems like using: $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES in combination with: GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)

makes my GUI accept only filenames but not everything like i want it to...

I want to be able to mark whatever i want in FF and then drag it to my GUI for copying process... any idea how to ?!

WOW, i thought it to be rather simpler.... as it seems AU3 doesn't support it....

i wander if one can achieve it by using the OLE COM obj for the job....

Some info:

Some GUI for reproducing

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

$parent1 = GUICreate("Parent1", -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_DROPPED, "MyFunc")
$Ctrl = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

; Just idle around
While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func MyFunc()
    ConsoleWrite("ID: "&@GUI_DRAGID & " File: "&@GUI_DRAGFILE &" Drop: "&@GUI_DROPID&@CRLF)
EndFunc

Maybe...

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

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) ;   ******** 0=disabled, 1=OnEvent mode enabled

$parent1 = GUICreate("Parent1", -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
GUISetOnEvent(-3, "Exiter") ; ******* This is GUI event
$Ctrl = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_DROPPED, "MyFunc") ; ****** This is GUI Control event
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

; Just idle around
While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func MyFunc()
    ConsoleWrite("ID: " & @GUI_DragId & " File: " & @GUI_DragFile & " Drop: " & @GUI_DropId & @CRLF)
EndFunc   ;==>MyFunc

Func Exiter()
    Exit 0
EndFunc   ;==>Exiter

This seems a bit complicated but you can drag marked text to your input like this.

expandcollapse popup

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

$parent1 = GUICreate("Parent1", -1, -1, -1, -1, -1)
$Ctrl = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
; Just idle
While 1
    
    If _IsPressed(01) Then
        If WinActive("") <> $parent1 Then
            ConsoleWrite("down" & @CRLF)
            Sleep(50)
            Send("^{INS}")
            While _IsPressed(01)
                Sleep(10)
            WEnd
            If WindowFromPoint() = ControlGetHandle($parent1,"",$Ctrl) Then
                MouseClick("left")
                Send("^v")
            EndIf
        EndIf
    EndIf

    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case - 3
            Exit
    EndSwitch

    Sleep(10)
WEnd


Func WindowFromPoint()
    Local $point, $cHwnd, $hwnd, $pos, $size
    $point = MouseGetPos()
    $hwnd = DllCall("user32.dll", "hwnd", "WindowFromPoint", "int", $point[0], "int", $point[1])
    Return $hwnd[0]
EndFunc  ;==>WindowFromPoint

Thanks mates,

but i wasn't referring just to text... what if i want to drag-drop a picture from browser to the input box ?!

it's oky.... maybe in a couple of years AU3 will be able to do it

It already can. If you drag an image from your browser to an input, the file path will be inserted (probably from your cache). Work fine in Firefox, at least. I used it in my color pickin chooser to import images directly from the web.

(I was here looking for something else..)
