Drag and Drop

BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Programming/Drag and Drop

I´m agaain. Is there a way to use Drag&Drop in B+? I need it for my Messager

afaik: not for things that come from outside your app. From within the app you could fake something like having two canvases and a floating window (style 0) showing some image. But that only gives you d&d from canvas1 to canvas2.

BTW, the forum search would have given you the answer an hour quicker than waiting for me to do a forum search. Now that the optional advanced search option has been added, it can be quite effective.

You can also try WinBlitz3D (though it's made for B3D I've managed to use some if it's features in BlitzPlus)

Just in case you didn't know, BlitzMax (with the MaxGUI module) allows you to accept file drag n' drops into your app natively. Have a look for EVENT_WINDOWACCEPTFILES.

Obviously there's no point paying for BlitzMax if you *just* want this feature but I thought I should let you know.
