Here i have created an example for Drag and Drop interaction with the Windows Explorer. It uses my COM UDFs including a modified MemoryDLLCall from Ward. I hope i'll find the time to extend the IDataObject-interface for more functionality.

The download is located here: DoDragDrop and COM in AutoIt Downloads:Posted Image

//Edit: I forgot to mention that this will only work on Win XP and newer. I was too lazy to implement an IEnumFORMATETC interface and used SHCreateStdEnumFmtEtc instead.

//Edit2: This UDF makes it possible to Drag a file from an AutoIt-GUI to the Explorer or other drop-enabled applications.

Brilliant ProgAndy.

Thank you.

Thank you very much :unsure:

(This is not complete, DragImages are missing, but for that I need an Array in Memory, so I'm writing an UDF for it :P )

--> Therefore the next UDF will be MemoryArray for DLLStructs with Add, Delete, Get, GetDelete, Set, ... Just sorting and different datatypes (sizes) in 1 Array won't be implemented.

I have updated the example with my MemArray UDF. Also, i have implemented IDragSourceHelper for the images but for any reason, it won't work. The download can be found in the first post.

However, there is an short, easy and clear example of the same from Lazycat (Jun 23 2006, 09:19 AM) without high tech programming

here

It works for me under Win9x/2k/XP.

This is exactly the same method i use for drop on an AutoIt-GUI. The COM-approach is only for Drag-Drop from AutoIt to another app.

I saw an example in freebasic or was it darkbasic? creating a COM-object for RichEdit-OLE. Since thee basic-languages don't support objects, a saw how to create COM-objects without support from the lang. Then i had to wiat for a DllCall for pointers, which Ward created.

For the COM-objects i use ReactOS-Sources and MSDN :D

especially for drag-drop, i uesd this tutorial: http://www.catch22.net/tuts/dragdrop/

I...I'm so happy :')

I've been looking for this functionality for some time now! Hopefully I can figure out how to get it into my own GUI easily :o

...so happy :D

Yes. This is a hard task for AutoIt3. I have one usefull (maybe?) link for your hard work.

Many years ago the Textview was written by Florian Balmer. I found it as

Textview 4.4.10 © Florian Balmer 1996-2000.

Textview (pure C files with one short CPP one) can be an example of DoDragDrop and GetUIObjectOf usage. This is a very short, precise and clever code. Now Textview has version 6.0.12. and other homepage

Thanx

The point of world view
