Drag and Drop - the other way around

[NBJ]

Hi All,

I know this thread has gone on for a while and you are doing something quite interesting.

You thought about embedding an Explorer window into the GUI earlier.

Something like:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEX.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>

_Singleton("RBC")
$WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES = 16
$TempDir = CreateRandomTempDir()
$oIE = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.1")


#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=C:\Program Files\Koda 1.7.01\Forms\QuickFTP\FNTConvert.kxf
$Form1 = GUICreate("Rockbox FNT Converter", 441, 323, 293, 202, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
$Tab1 = GUICtrlCreateTab(6, 7, 428, 308)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKWIDTH + $GUI_DOCKHEIGHT)
$TabSheet1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Convert")
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Drop the font(s) onto the left (1st) pane,", 71, 50, 189, 17)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("then drag the converted font(s) from the right (2nd) pane.", 71, 70, 271, 17)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Autoit Applications\DropBox.jpg", 71, 101, 130, 130)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
$Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Status: Waiting...", 71, 248, 85, 17)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
$Progress1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(71, 271, 297, 17)
;$Pic2 = GUICtrlCreatePic("C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Autoit Applications\DropBox.jpg", 234, 101, 130, 130)
;GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
$Label5 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("1.)", 127, 160, 19, 17)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x808080)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
$Label6 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("2.)", 291, 160, 19, 17)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x808080)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
$TabSheet2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("About")
$Label4 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Developed by motionman95, 2009, All Rights Reserved.", 15, 286, 274, 17)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj( $oIE, 180, 101, 230, 80)

GUISetState ()





While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED
            $File = @GUI_DragFile
            If StringRegExp($file, "^.+\.(?i)((TTF)|(OTF))$") Then
                MsgBox(0, "", $file & @CRLF & "Is a font file.")
                $TempDir = CreateRandomTempDir()
                ConvertFile($file)
                $oIE.navigate($TempDir)
                $oIE.navigate($TempDir)
    ;$oIE.style('1')

            Else
                MsgBox(0, "", $file & @CRLF & "Is an invalid file type.")
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
WEnd



Func ConvertFile($file)
    $FileSplit = StringSplit($File,'\')
    $dest = $TempDir & $FileSplit[$FileSplit[0]]
    ConsoleWrite(@cr&$dest)
    FileCopy($file,$dest,8)
EndFunc


Func CreateRandomTempDir()
    While 1
        Local $RAND = Random(100000,999999,1)
        Local $ctrTempDir = @TempDir&'\'&$RAND&'\'
        if not FileExists($ctrTempDir) then ExitLoop
    WEnd
        ConsoleWrite($ctrTempDir)
        DirCreate($ctrTempDir)
        Return $ctrTempDir
EndFunc

The code is very dirty, and generates a random folder in %temp% each time you 'process' a file it so shows only 1 icon in the panel 2.

Cheers

@NBJ How do you suggest using that to drag files from the application which is the problem we have been struggling with? Dropping files onto the gui isn't a problem.

[NBJ]

@Martin,

Hi, Sorry to intrude into the conversation.

I was looking through the thread and it is my understanding that motionman95 was looking to do the following;

- Have the user drop a font file onto the gui

- Have the Gui recognize this and perform his conversion (yet to be programmed)

- Once the Conversion is complete an Icon of the converted file show in the GUI so the user can then drag the converted file to their preferred destination.

motionman95 figured out the drop onto gui, no problems. What I was proposing that was by using an embedded explorer window showing the actual converted file, the end user would then be ale to drag that out on to their desktop.

At least that is whats happening on my machine (XP) when I run the script I uploaded and dragged a ttf onto area 1.

In my scrappy version of the script, in stead of converting the file, I just copies the original to a unique temp folder, in order to have the Gui display 1 icon in Area 2. This icon is then available to drag to another folder.

- I have to agree that the work you guys are doing is far more advanced and ultimately will be more useful to the community it will enable a far greater number of possibilities in future.

Thanks for all the input I learn a great deal from these forums.

I'm trying to implement the DoDragDrop and the needed COM-Interfaces in AutoIt. When i have a working example, i will post it

Great!

I'll be very interested to see how you do it because I've already studied the msdn information your link leads to but I was soon confused, mainly because I don't know anything about OLE and COM interfacing.

[ProgAndy]

I think, i have the interfaces, but it just doesn't want to drop the data

And COM/OLE-interfaces in AutoIt... That is a pain. You have to use DLLCallbackRegister for each funtion in the object, use a modified memorydllcall, since DLLCall doesn't support pointers ...

//Edit:It works Now i have to clean up the code. I think i will post it the in the next days.

Any progress? I'd love to see what you have so far.

He already posted it in example scripts forum Drag and Drop with Explorer, a COM example

[amin84]

Hello motionman95, Tnx for the drag n drop into the GUI example. That's what I was looking for.

[VikramGanapathi]

Did any one Implement the same in Java.

Another change in requirement that I have is that I would like to drag from  windows explorer to the AUT(Web) - Selenium Java

 

[Melba23]

VikramGanapathi,

As this is a forum for AutoIt, why would you expect anyone to have converted the code to Java? Perhaps asking the original question on a Java forum would be more appropriate.

[VikramGanapathi]

@M23,

  Thank you for the inputs, but I am implementing AutoIT in Selenium java, so thought there would be any sample code that would work for Java. But I realize that its an exe that I have to execute as part of Selenium that is not language dependent. Lemme try to implement the same in my and will keep you posted.

Vikram

[VikramGanapathi]

Did any one implement Dragging and Dropping from Windows Explorer to Web Application using AutoIT Selenium Java and sample code.

You should search for sendinput dealing with the mousedown and mouseup events

you are attempting to automate your automation with some automation....something something Java?

 

is that about right?
