yes, XDND is a freedesktop standard, so it works with everything that honors it. Gnome honors it, KDE honors it and firefox honors it (the latter a little bit only). http://www.newplanetsoftware.com/xdnd/dragging_files.html Are you only talking about dragging+dropping files or do you want dragging+dropping work for anything else too?

In my opinion having a OnDropFiles or so would be nice to have. Note that XDND (X Drag and Drop) and XDS (X Drag Save) payloads are somewhat sophisticated, so I'm not sure if OnDropFiles can do much stuff on behalf of the programmer. That is, even with OnDropFiles provided, it still will be a bit of work for the actual application programmer to get some useful data out of the drop :) Do we want to handle the "drag" part of "drag&drop" too ? :) cheers, Danny _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
