[python-win32] (no subject)

[Alex Denham]

Excellent, thanks everyone. Drag and Drop seems to fully work now.
Tim, Mike:
I ended up just using a global variable, once in the Drop method of the IDropTarget class and once in the filesDropped method in the MainWindow class.

[code]
def filesDropped(self):
    global Files

    if Files:
        f = Files[0]
        Files = []
    else:
        pass

    self.after(1000, self.filesDropped)
[/code]

Thanks for everyone's help,
Alex
