- I'd like to have an app that accepts a drag and drop operation from something
- in the workspace browser onto the Icon of my running application. I essentially
- want to get the path name of the object dropped.
-
- More clearly, I start up my app, it just displays a menu, no windows, although
- the App icon is displayed. I then drag a file out of the workspace browser onto
- the App icon, and I want the app to get notified and be able to query the
- filename. Of coursse I also want to do this for directories as well.
-
- Can this be done, or do I need a window (or miniwindow) to drop the file onto?
- Any pointers to coding examples or Digi Lib docs that do this?
-
- Thanks in advance (Nextmail is fine)
