in reply to Re^3: WxPerl and drag and dropping files
in thread WxPerl and drag and dropping files

And here I was trying to have fun :D and you're all Basic debugging checklist and brian's Guide to Solving Any Perl Problem :)

Ok, doit warns a pair of objects ... typical wxWidgets, its always throwing objects at you :)

Wx::Frame=HASH(0x11d6a04) Wx::DropFilesEvent=SCALAR(0x12e59b4)

Naturally with help of wxperl_usage / wxperl-usage / wxPerl::Usage / Class Method Browser , available methods, method invocation syntax, link to docs

I come upon
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_drop_files_event.html
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/2.8.12/wx_wxdropfilesevent.html

Which list things like

wxDropFilesEvent::GetFiles wxString* GetFiles() const Returns an array of filenames. wxDropFilesEvent::GetNumberOfFiles int GetNumberOfFiles() const Returns the number of files dropped.

Funny thing wxperl_usage also lists those things

Usage: Wx::DropFilesEvent::GetFiles(THIS) $THIS->GetFiles() Usage: Wx::DropFilesEvent::GetNumberOfFiles(THIS) $THIS->GetNumberOfFiles()
