wx.DropFilesEvent¶

This class is used for drop files events, that is, when files have been dropped onto the window.

This functionality is currently only available under Windows.

The window must have previously been enabled for dropping by calling wx.Window.DragAcceptFiles .

Important note: this is a separate implementation to the more general drag and drop implementation documented in the Drag and Drop Overview. It uses the older, Windows message-based approach of dropping files.

Events Emitted by this Class¶

EVT_DROP_FILES: Process a wxEVT_DROP_FILES event.

MSW port.
