In order for a window to become a 'drop target' it must be created with the L<-acceptfiles|Win32::GUI::Reference::Options/acceptfiles> option set, or have called its L method. Once the window has been correctly initialised, then dropping a dragged file on the window results in a L event being triggered. The parameter to the event callback function is a Win32::GUI::DropFiles object that can be used to retrieve the names and paths of the dropped files. =head1 Drop Object Methods This section documents the public API for Win32::GUI::DropFiles objects. =head2 Constructor The constructor is not public: Win32::GUI creates Win32::GUI::DropFiles object when necessary, to pass to the DropFiles event handler subroutine. =head2 GetDroppedFiles my $count = $dropObj->GetDroppedFiles(); my @files = $dropObj->GetDroppedFiles(); In scalar context returns the number of files dropped. In list context returns a list of fully qualified path/filename for each dropped file. =head2 GetDroppedFile my $file = $dropObj->GetDroppedFile($index); returns the fully qualified path/filename for the file referenced by the zero-based C. If C is out of range, returns undef and sets C<$!> and C<$^E>. =head2 GetDropPos my $client = $dropObj->GetDropPos(); my ($x, $y, $client) = $dropObj->GetDropPos(); In scalar context returns a flag indicating whether the mouse was in the client or non-client area of the window when the files were dropped. In list context returns the x and y co-ordinates of the mouse when the files were dropped (in client co-ordinates), as well as a flag indicating whether the mouse was in the client or non-client area of the window. =head2 Destructor The destructor is called automatically when the object goes out of scope, and releases resources used by the system to store the filnames. Typically the object goes out of scope at the end of the DropFiles callback. Care should be taken to ensure that if a reference is taken to the object that does not go out of scope at that time, that it is eventually released, otherwise a memory leak will occur. =head1 Win32 API functions This section documents the Win32 API wrappers implemented by Win32::GUI::DropFiles. Although these APIs are available, their use is not recommended - the public Object Methods should provide better access to these APIs. See MSDN (L) for further details of the Win32 API functions. =head2 DragQueryFile Win32::GUI::DropFiles::DragQueryFile($dropHandle, [$item]); C is a win32 C handle. C is a zero-based index to the filename to be retrieved. Returns the number of files dropped if C is omitted. Returns the filenmame if C is provided. Returns undef and sets C<$!> and C<$^E> on error. =head2 DragQueryPoint Win32::GUI::DropFiles::DragQueryPoint($dropHandle); C is a win32 C handle. Returns a 3 element list of the x-position and y-position (in client co-ordinates) and a flag that indicates whether the drop happened in the client or non-client area of the window. =head2 DragFinish Win32::GUI::DropFiles::DragFinish($dropHandle); C is a win32 C handle. Releases the resources and invalidates C. Does not return any value. =head1 Unicode filenmame support Supports unicode filenames under WinNT, Win2k, WinXP and higher. =head1 Backwards compatibility with Win32::GUI::DragDrop The GUI Loft includes a Win32::GUI::DragDrop module that exposes similar functionality. If you want to continue to use that module, then ensure that Win32::GUI::DropFiles is not used anywhere in your program (even by other modules that you use). Loading Win32::GUI::DropFiles changes the DropFiles event callback signature, and will result in Win32::GUI::DragDrop failing. It is recommended to upgrade to Win32::GUI::DropFiles. =head1 SEE ALSO MSDN L for more information on DragAcceptFiles, DragQueryFiles, DragQueryPos, DragFinish, WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES, WM_DROPFILES L =head1 SUPPORT Homepage: L.
