I have been trying to implement drag and drop of files in python. My application will written in PyQt4 but they I want to use the native drag and drop for windows as PyQt only supports mime based dragging, which does not work for some of the windows applications that I want to connect with.
I have made a certain amount of progress getting this to work using pywin32, however I have gotten stuck. So far I have been able to implement dragging of text (CF_TEXT or CF_UNICODETEXT). This basically took reimplementing the IDropSource & IDataObject objects, wrapping them using win32com.server.util.wrap() and then calling pythoncom.DoDragDrop(). For some of this I have been able to follow allong with the code in testClipboard.py that is included with the pywin32 installaiton. The next thing that I want to do is to use CF_HDROP as the format type with a list of file locations. I am getting stuck at the point when I actually add the list of file locations to the pythoncom.STGMEDIUM() object. >From what I can gather this data needs to be placed into a DROPFILES structure (msdn page on CF_HDROP & DROPFILES<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776902%28VS.85%29.aspx>). So my questing is how to I create this structure in pywin32? Any help on this would be appretiated, particularly since I can't find documentation for a lot of this stuff (I have resorted to greping the source code to find stuff). I am totaly new to win32 programming so this has been a bit more that I meant to bite off. If anyone knows of an easyer way to achive this I would be happy to hear of it. Thanks, -- amicitas
