DXDragDropExtended
OLE Drag & Drop for DesktopX
Wednesday, September 3, 2008 by Littleboy | Discussion: DesktopX
A small DesktopX plugin that has been sitting unfinished for 1+ year in my experiments folder...
DXDragDropExtended adds true OLE drag&drop to your DesktopX objects. This means you can now drop text onto a DesktopX object in addition to files (ie. select some text in you browser, drop it on a DesktopX object and your script will get called).
The API for files is the same as the one already included in DesktopX (Object_OnDropFiles) and you get a new callback DragDrop_OnDropText(text) with text containing the selection. There is some more info in the included readme.
This could be put to good use to build some nice notes or translator gadgets.
I'm looking for a few test reports before uploading to Wincustomize. Let me know if it works OK. And if you need more options, more types of drag&drop supported, etc. please let me know too (be specific: it has to be something you need for building you widget...)
Download a test build from here.
