Re: drag and drop

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but the method used by Swiftforth
could easily be adapted to any program with a window. Here is a
simple example:

-----------------------------------------
REQUIRES WIN1 \ Simple Framework

: DROPPED ( -- )
   ( next line is optional )
   HWND SetForegroundWindow DROP ( <<< if we want to be seen )
   WPARAM 0 PAD 255 DragQueryFile DROP
   HWND PAD Z" Dropped File" MB_OK MessageBox DROP ;

[+SWITCH APP-MESSAGES
   WM_CREATE RUN: ( -- res ) HWND 1 DragAcceptFiles 0 ;
   WM_DESTROY RUN: ( -- res ) HWND 0 DragAcceptFiles
                                 APP-DESTROY ( from Win1.F ) ;
   WM_DROPFILES RUN: ( -- res ) DROPPED WPARAM DragFinish 0 ;
SWITCH]
-----------------------------------------

Hope this helps,

Mike

Dropping a file onto an SF session for inclusion is quite different
than
what I need - I want to create a turnkey that can be distributed, onto
which
I can drag and drop a file for handling... The question is, when the
file is
dropped onto the turnkey, can any parameters be passed, such as
filename, so
that the exe can handle tasks on the file?
