Hi, I use MacOS or linux (on Raspi only), never really worked with windows. I'm using Windows only to test my stacks/apps on the PC of my youngest son.
Scripting Host-WScript can execute JScript, the MS-extension of ECMAScript. It has a lot of features. We probably can use a lot of these features via LC's shell. I looked into that out of interest the first time last week. It is well documented: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/wscript And it seems to be better maintained than VBScript. But there is NO method to get the selectedItems from the virtual desktop folder. Moreover, as you may notice, the selected items are deelected when you activate another window (as for example a LC window or an explorer window). The only workaround I can see (besides using an answer file dialog or dragDrop) is: 1. launch document specialFolderPath("Desktop") --> open desktop folder in explorer 2. User should select the files in that window. 3. Use the already working method for explorer windows. ---- file "wscript1.js" (more compact output) var shellWindows = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application").Windows(); for (var i = 0; i < shellWindows.Count; i++) { var w = shellWindows.Item(i); var sel = w.Document.SelectedItems(); for (var j = 0; j < sel.Count; j++) { var item = sel.Item(j); WScript.StdOut.WriteLine(item.Path); } } _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
