Hello,
I have an app A which has two windows B & C.
Window A has two Canvasses B & C, so when the app is launched Window A opens
and I can now click in B (or C) to open B (or C).
When I create a file in B (or C) I can then double click on its icon and App A
will open the appropriate window and display the contents of the file as
expected.
When I create a file in B (or C) I can then drag its icon over App A icon, App
A will open the appropriate window and display the contents of the file as
expected.
The problem is when I create a file in B (or C) I can then drag its icon over
its own icon in App A window, App A gives "Item = nil"
This is the code I have in Canvas B (and C) DropObject event:
Dim item, items() as folderitem
Items().Append item
Dim Filestream as TextInputStream
If item = Nil then // The file does not exist
msgbox "item = nil"
return
elseif item.directory then
filestream = item.openAsTextFile
....
end if
OK I have an idea what is happening,
When I drag the icon over the canvas B (orC) in App A window, Item = nil
because no reference is made to the item,
How do I reference that item?
I can use item = GetOpenFolderitem("") and this will display open file dialog
and then allow me to navigate for the file, but I do not want to do that.
If I use item = GetFolderitem("") I do not get the "Item = nil" but the item
seems to be empty.
Thanks.
Lennox.
