Hi there!

Does anyone know if there is a way to drag and drop files from a 'windows explorer' window into a Contruct application?

Basically I want to be able to drag '.wav' files into my application and drop them on particular channels (that are represented by icons).

MMF2 has a function that gets the name of any file dragged and dropped into the application - that is what I need.

Any ideas?

Here's an example using python and the ctypes library:

brilliant! thanks

so if I just keep the structure of the py.zip and _ctypes.pyd files in my application this should always work?
