How to drag and drop ?

[Ricci]

I like to do the following: Drag a file from the Explorer to my HMG program.

I know that via "drag and drop" only the filename is transported, but that´s exactly what i want. So which control is capable to accept the "drop" ?

A very small workaround is to drop the file over the program icon on the desktop und when the program starts it can look if a parameter is given. That is not good enough, finishing and starting the programm for ever drop.

This mode of operation is that you want?

DragDrop.zip

[Ricci]

Yes, great. How did you solve it?

[bootwan]

I am not sure that HMG support it or not?
I use HMG Extended to solve it.

DragDrop-Source.zip

Too bad, but HMG did not support the "ON DROPFILES" command at windows definition.

But it would be useful to get it in the future.

Hi Bootwan again - and thanks to "finger-pointing" (I use HMG Ext - but I forget about this sample ).

I hope - in near future we'll have one, common-maded thing (when Roberto and Grigory joined "HMG Original" and "HMG Extended" to one simple "HMG") - and "fork war" will be over.

Hello Bootwan,

Welcome back.

I am a very ordinary student of HMG (and other software tools). I like your sample. You are a very good programmer.

Currently, HMG doesn't have this feature. If you like, you may post this in "Wish List" section of HMGForum. Please don't take my comments otherwise.

finger pointing = call for your attention on a subject

Maybe a native English speaker can make a better one !
