hello Tom (mainly),
I know that drag and drop is a huge issue for Mac users who can't have any
tkdnd... so I just googled a bit to
see if I could find some code that does this and see if we can use it as a
separate extension...
I found a lot of times, the same thing, when refering to tcl/tk...
a procedure called tkOpenDocument...
here's how it's best explained :

2.3. How can I respond to having files dropped on my Wish Application?
Create a tcl procedure called tkOpenDocument which takes the args keyword for
its argument. When a file or files
are dropped on your application, this procedure will be run, recieving a list
of the files dropped on it in the
args variable. So for instance:
proc tkOpenDocument {args} {
foreach elem $args {
puts {Ow! Quit It}
}
}
[/quote]
so.. how about you try it on Mac ? I don't think it would work on anything
other than mac.. so try it on Mac,
create a
proc tkOpenDocument {args } {
puts $args
}
and play with drag/dropping until you can clearly know what the $args
contains... what if it's an http url, what
if x, what if Y, is it a file://filename or is it just the filename.. does it
work for any file, or just *.tcl
files ? etc.. etc...
then once you know how it works, you should find a little hack in Tk in order
to find out WHERE the file was
dropped... maybe have a FocusIn/FocusOut binding be added to toplevel windows
in order to keep track of where
the mouse pointer was when the drop was done... put all it into some API calls
and we're good to go :)
I hope it works! give me news about it.
