Like gui allows only dragging to listbox or Static text control ... ?

[Leef_me]

Do you mean ignore the drop when the user tries to drop files on specific controls ?

The following built-in variables are available within GuiDropFiles:
1. A_GuiControl, which contains the text or variable name of the control upon which
the files were dropped (blank if none).
2. A_EventInfo and ErrorLevel, which both contain the number of files dropped.
3. A_GuiX and A_GuiY, which contain the X and Y coordinates of where the files were
dropped (relative to the window's upper left corner).
4. A_GuiEvent, which contains the names of the files that were dropped, with each
filename except the last terminated by a linefeed (`n).

GuiDropFiles:
if A_GuiControl in Button1, Button2, Button3
  return ; ignore the drop

;-- else accept the files ----
return

I did not work that " if "... sorry, do you have an example ?

I do not have an example other than the partial idea I posted.

I asked a question and you did not respond to it.
Please explain what you want in more detail.

Please post an example script and tell us what you want.

A little closer?

GuiDropFiles:

   ; So we have to get the control using MouseGetPos

Can you elaborate on this statement ?

[Klark92]

@just me : when I drag a file to Listbox2 your message says me A_GuiControl is Listbox1 .. I didnt understand that

Finally it works. Thanks a lot leef_me !

[just me]

A_GuiControl does always contain the name of the first input-capable control in this case. I don't know whether this issue relies on my AHK version, or not.

[Klark92]

okay .. but your method is cool for one control..

[just me]

It works for more than one control, you just can't use A_GuiControl.

[Klark92]

new edit x) : for leef me's method, the mouse pointer is not change when mouse on unwanted controls ... but your method is pretty cool ...

[Leef_me]

It works for more than one control, you just can't use A_GuiControl.

Your statement seems contrary to the information published in the docs.
<!-- m -->http://l.autohotkey.... ... iDropFiles<!-- m -->

:?: Can you provide an example that supports your statement ?

[just me]

@Leef_me: Just try my script and look at the value of A_GuiControl reported in the MessageBox. And observe that WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES is removed from the Gui window, that's the whole trick!
