- On my SUN Work Station, I am trying to write an application
- which uses the "Drag and Drop" mechanism. Following the
- example in "XView Programming Manual" by O'Rielly &
- Associates, I could read the file name when the icon of a
- file was "dropped." However, I want to be able to read
- multiple file names when a group of selected file icons are
- "dropped." I searched all available X Window programming
- references, but could not find a way to read multiple file
- names.
-
- Is it impossible in X Window programming to do what I
- described above? If it can be done, please inform me of the
- reference source. An illustrative example would be perfect.
- Thanks.
