digitalmars.D.dwt - WM_DROPFILES (hello Shawn!)

reply bobef <bobef lessequal.com> writes:
I trying to add WM_DROPFILES event for the windows version of DWT. I 
spent few hours studying the DWT internals... I defined new event in 
DWT, added new event class and all the stuff. I put all the stuff in a 
new version called SWT_SECT so it could be separated from the original 
SWT, but I have very strange problem. When I add new case for 
OS.WM_DROPFILES in the Control's windowProc I get unhandled exception in 
decorations.d 941 . Maybe I am doing something wrong? Could you (Shawn) 
explain briefly what is involved in adding new event handlers to DWT? I 
plan to add WM_DROPFILES and DDE handlers. Something like 
addDDEListener(service,topic)... I believe it would be useful to have 
these in the windows version, and even if they are not included in the 
official distribution, they are necessary for my project - akide.

Thank you,

I think the additional Windows Message can be handled correctly in DWT. decorations.d line 941 only complains that there is a null image parameter passed into the setImages() method. http://trac.dsource.org/projects/dwt/browser/trunk/current/win32/import/dwt/widgets/decorations.d?rev=96#L941

This is why I said it is strange...

I found easier way to get notified on WM_DROPFILES - hooks (hook for 
WH_GETMESSAGE after DragAcceptFiles(shell.handle,1); )

I still can't have a full DDE conversation this way but give it some time...

OK. Did the DDE too. The tricky part is that WM_DDE_INITATE goes to 
WH_CALLWNDPROC (maybe WH_CALLWNDPROCRET too, haven't tried) and 
WM_DDE_EXECUTE/TERMINATE goes to WH_GETMESSAGE ...
