in reply to How do external drops from Perl/Tk on Win32?

As I just did RTFM, RTFS and some testings, it is very likely that it is not implemented for Win32, and is implemented for SUN configurations.

As a workaround that I tried (but not enough to succeed due to time limits) is to embed external C program via "-embed" option, which will allow Win32-drags.

Courage, the Cowardly Dog.

    Thanks for your answer Courage. I have managed to get it to work in wxpython, so it ought to work in wxperl, but there is not much documentation on it. I noticed there are wxperl tutorials at this site here and here and here. Maybe I should msg boo_radley and ask for advice.

    There is a drag-and drop implementation for Win32::GUI, but i think it needs patching in the C code, according to a page I can't locate right now, but which I believe is related to the docs on GUILoft and Oasis by Johan Lindström.

    Maybe one should encourage someone (using the means necessary) to create a functioning external drop in perl/Tk?
