i want to be able to drag-and-drop items onto .pys scripts the same way =
you can with .vbs scripts (as described in =
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=3D/library/en-us/script=
56/html/wsdraganddrop.asp). i believe this is similar to what ian =
bicking was looking to do in =
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-win32/2002-April/000323.html=20
after facing a couple hours of frustration and not finding any useful =
pointers on the net, i started poking through the registry. i discovered =
that the reason i couldn't drop items onto .pys files was that there's a =
registry key missing (apparently one of the keys that should be created =
by the process that registers the python scripting engine with WSH). the =
key should be:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pysFile\ShellEx\DropHandler
and should contain the (Default) string value, set to =
"{60254CA5-953B-11CF-8C96-00AA00B8708C}". this registers the script =
files as "drop targets", with the WSH shell helper handling the =
dropping. dropped items appear in the script as WScript.Arguments, the =
same as they do in any other WSH script.
hope this helps someone else do something useful.
