wx.DropFilesEvent

This class is used for drop files events, that is, when files have been dropped onto the window.

The window must have previously been enabled for dropping by calling wx.Window.DragAcceptFiles .

Important note: this is a separate implementation to the more general drag and drop implementation documented in the Drag and Drop Overview. It uses the older, Windows message-based approach of dropping files.

Events Emitted by this Class

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a wx.DropFilesEvent parameter.

• EVT_DROP_FILES: Process a wxEVT_DROP_FILES event.

Note

Windows only until version 2.8.9, available on all platforms since 2.8.10.
