Drag & Drop

[usamaalam]

Hi all,

In my ZIP Archiver, I can add files to an existing ZIP file on the click of a button. I have already created File Association so that on clicking on a ZIP file, my application launches and file is extracted. Now, I want the functionality to drag a file on desktop or any shell editor, such as windows explorer and when its dropped on a zip file, file should be added to the zip file on which it is dropped. I need some help about passing filenames of dragged and dropped files which files are dragged and dropped only on zip file.

Any ideas ??

Thanks.

Thanks BuggyProgrammer.

I saw the post and also contacted JordanChris for help but unfortunately I am unable to get some actual help or code. Can anyone help with some code or reference for this problem ??

so the files are dropped onto another file?

it should be stored in

Command$()

But how will my application be launched when files are dropped on .zip file ??

now that just got more complicated

i don't know, but looking through the registry there is a

shellex
|--DropHandler

which allows the file to be 'dropped' on. maybe you can start from there.

it could get really hard to really easy. search google im pretty sure you'll get something. (shell extensions)
