My question is what message is triggered when a file is dropped on a
running LC standdalone on Windows
On Windows, if the APP is started by dropping a file on it, the file
name is available to any handler in the startup sequence via the $1
special variable. i.e. IF teh variable $1 contains a file name the app
was started by someone droping the file on teh app or by double-clicking
a file associated with teh app.
On macOS, this is all handled by appleEvents. i.e. if a file is dropped
on a LC standalone on macOS that standalone gets an appleEvent message
and the parameters of the message can be used to get the file name .
This is true on startup (if a file was dropped on the app to start it or
an associated file was double clicked to start the app OR on macOS if
the app is already running and a file is dropped on its icon, the app
gets an appleEvent message.
So, what message does a LC standalone app on Windows get, if it has been
running and a file is dropped on its icon? An what is the message path
of that message (i.e. is it send to the current card, current stack, the
mainstack card, or the mainstack stack?)
Thanks in advance!
