Excellent, thanks everyone. Drag and Drop seems to fully work now.
Tim, Mike:
I ended up just using a global variable, once in the Drop method of the
IDropTarget class and once in the filesDropped method in the MainWindow class.
[code]
def filesDropped(self):
global Files
if Files:
f = Files[0]
Files = []
else:
pass
self.after(1000, self.filesDropped)
[/code]
Thanks for everyone's help,
Alex
