I'd like to have an app that accepts a drag and drop operation from something in the workspace browser onto the Icon of my running application. I essentially want to get the path name of the object dropped. More clearly, I start up my app, it just displays a menu, no windows, although the App icon is displayed. I then drag a file out of the workspace browser onto the App icon, and I want the app to get notified and be able to query the filename. Of coursse I also want to do this for directories as well. Can this be done, or do I need a window (or miniwindow) to drop the file onto? Any pointers to coding examples or Digi Lib docs that do this? Thanks in advance (Nextmail is fine) -- Gordie Freedman gordie@yamanote.dolphin.com -> NextMail encouraged (Disclaimer: Opinions expressed are my own and represent no one else.)
