DragDrop Library

correction to above, i still had the Input box set in the stop line, it shoud read

elseif not IsInRect(e_X, e_Y, Hotspot.GetPos("Drag and Drop Area1"), Hotspot.GetSize("Drag and Drop Area1")) and DnD_on == true then

i spoke too soon :( ....it works, right up to the point you move the mouse into the area with the button pressed down, then it fails to trigger (i was testing with a message box in the 2 sections of the code)... but when the mouse button is depressed, the movement into the target area is not detected..... bugger, back to the drawing board

ok, i managed to get my project to become focused and on top of other windows when you drag a file into it's area

the problem was not exactly with my code, but the flakey and unreliable AMS/Windows ontop function/implementation. What i used was the app ontop function of the SendKeys DLL

I placed this in the onstartup and on mouse move sections

OnTop = false;

and then in the trigger code for the drag and drop, i added the code below, as i did before i utilised the GetEventType function that is checked in the timer section, using it to reset the OnTop variable to true and to call the DLL function, returning the value to false if the item is dragged off the project. Because the on mouse move event does not trigger if you have the mouse button depressed when you enter the project, the code in on mouse move doesnt take affect until you release the mouse button

	-- Switch Focus to File Splitter as user drags item to it --
if DragDrop.GetEventType() == "DragOver" and OnTop == false then
	OnTop = true;  -- set ontop flag to true to stop repeat DLL calls
	SendKeys("{AppActivate File Splitter}")
elseif DragDrop.GetEventType() == "DragLeave" then
	OnTop = false;  -- reset ontop flag to false incase user drags item off File Splitter
end
