Hi everyone,

I have not found anything related to my question, so will try to ask here, maybe someone will know.  $GUI_DROPACCEPTED - Accept drag/drop function for selected field.

My question is about separator. When I drop 2 files they separated by "|" (Pipe) and I need t will be separated by ";" any way of work around, or I have missed the simple solution for this?

Well... $filesSet_REP_BEFORE is a control ID so why would it work? You should be using something like @GUI_DragFile

Sorry, I have like this

$filesSet_REP_BEFORE = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 30, 140, 400, 20)
$filesSet_REP = StringReplace($filesSet_REP_BEFORE, '|', ';')

GUICtrlSetState($filesSet_REP_BEFORE, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)

but it does not work, any possibility to show any sample for this solution?

What about you show what you tried that isn't working... sound much simpler to me! ;)

This is what I have tried:

$filesSet_REP_BEFORE = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 30, 140, 400, 20)
GUICtrlSetState($filesSet_REP_BEFORE, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
$filesSet_REP = StringReplace($filesSet_REP_BEFORE, '|', ';')

Ideally I need that when client will drag files to the field it will be display already with ";" and not with "|"

$filesSet_REP_BEFORE is not the content of the Input field, it is the ID of the input field.

You need to read the content of that control (field) using the ID.

i.e. $filesSet_REP = GUICtrlRead($filesSet_REP_BEFORE)

Then you can work with the value.

i.e. $filesSet_REP = StringReplace($filesSet_REP, "|", ";")

Altogether, you should have. 

$filesSet_REP_BEFORE = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 30, 140, 400, 20)
$filesSet_REP = GUICtrlRead($filesSet_REP_BEFORE)
$filesSet_REP = StringReplace($filesSet_REP, "|", ";")

But if you are wanting to work with $GUI_DROPACCEPTED you are doing it all wrong anyway.

TheDcoder gave you a clue to go on with, using the Help file .... @GUI_DragFile

But I really think you could benefit from doing some simple AutoIt tutorials, before learning to fly, as the concepts of reading and setting data are not evident in your understanding as displayed.

This way does work, thank you very much for this. I thought initially, it should simpler solution for this kind of things O_o

I have tried to look for some help related to  @GUI_DragFile , but I'm not sure where exactly take information from.

This is only things I have found:

https://www.autoitscript.com/trac/autoit/ticket/1870
https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/90806-gui_dragfile/

If you have any good source to read, will be appreciated.

@GUI_DragFile will not bring more benefit for the desired action than a simple GuiCtrlRead, as reading @GUI_DragFile gives file names also separated by a pipe
OTOH , setting Opt(GUIDataSeparatorChar, ";") doesn't work for this

So for an instant display in the input using ";" as separator,  the only way is to intercept the message before writing in the input  :P

The simpler way, is to treat the result from drag & drop as an array, either from GUICtrlRead or the @GUI_DragFile, and separate out the elements that way.

Mikell has provided you a beautiful example of the clever way, that is understandably more complex for beginners to understand.
If however, you want to get down and dirty and understand/learn/grow more easily from a simpler approach, then investigate arrays and probably the StringSplit command in particular.

Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth!

And in fact you were not totally wrong  :)

My code above does the modification before writing in the input. Pretty nice correct and all, but as TheSaint pointed out, not so easy to handle.
So the easiest workaround is to make the modification in the input  just after writing, so fast than you can't see
Example #1, using $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED : 

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

Local $hForm = GUICreate('Test', 500, 100, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
Global $input = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 40, 480, 20)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    Case $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED
           If @GUI_DropId = $input Then
               GuiCtrlSetData($input, StringReplace(GUICtrlRead($input), "|", ";") )
           EndIf
     EndSwitch
WEnd

Example #2 using GUIRegisterMsg : 

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

Local $hForm = GUICreate('Test', 500, 100, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
Global $input = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 40, 480, 20)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
GUISetState()

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "WM_COMMAND")

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
     EndSwitch
WEnd

Func WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
    Local $iIDFrom = BitAND($wParam, 0xFFFF)
    Local $iCode = BitShift($wParam, 16)
    Switch $iIDFrom
        Case $input
            Switch $iCode
               Case $EN_UPDATE ;$EN_CHANGE 
                    GuiCtrlSetData($input, StringReplace(GUICtrlRead($input), "|", ";") )
            EndSwitch
    EndSwitch
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc   ;==>WM_COMMAND
