Title: Drop target in QB64, is it even possible.
Post by: doppler on April 07, 2022, 07:45:21 am: In case you are not familiar with what a drop target is. It can be a box or window open by a program to accept a list of files. To be dropped into the drop target box. The drop location could also be a location inside a program that will process a list of files dropped there.

Using shell and dir to capture a list of files is too much sledgehammer approach to a pin prick need. This will most certainly require a DLL call. And I am clueless to know how. This could be a good routine inclusion, would become a nice touch for QB64 tools. Stuffing the clipboard would be likely the best way to get them in.

Thanks

Thanks for the pointer.

That's where/when I first encountered those keywords.
