DlgDrop 1.0 - Dialog Drop for Windows by Dieter Prifling (1993.03.18)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you ever encountered the following situation while working under 
Windows 3.1:

* You have located some data file in some directory with the Windows 
  File Manager.
* You have started an application and have chosen File | Open.
* A file dialog appears where some other directory is the default and 
  you are forced to select the drive and click thru all the directories 
  again even though the file you want is already visible in the File 
  Manager.
* Arrrrgh.

If this sounds familiar then DlgDrop is the solution. It allows you to 
drag any file from the File Manager and drop it onto the file dialog or 
any edit field in almost any dialog. Instead of a lot of clicking or 
typing, just one drag. (To drag a file, press the left mouse button over 
a filename in the File Manager, move the mouse over the destination 
while still holding down the mouse button, and then release the button 
over the destination to drop it off).


To use DlgDrop just run it like any other program or put it in the StartUp 
group of the Windows Program Manager. DlgDrop shows an info dialog 
when it is run for the first time. (Delete the "dlgdrop.ini" file to 
show the dialog again). For all future invocations DlgDrop doesn't have 
any visible signs of its presence.

If you drag a file from the File Manager and drop it onto an edit field 
in a dialog, the filename is written into this edit field. If you hold 
down the control key while dropping the file, the OK button is pressed 
automatically. If you drop the file on any other location in the dialog, 
outside of any edit field, the filename is written into the first edit 
field and the OK button is pressed.

DlgDrop works with all Dialogs that use the standard dialog window class 
(the majority does). The dialog must have a standard edit field or combo 
box. For the automatic OK to work, the dialog must have a standard OK 
button (most do). The standard common file dialog fullfills all these 
criteria. DlgDrop must be run before the file dialog is popped up.


DlgDrop is shareware and may be copied and distributed freely, but it 
may not be sold. Shareware distributers are allowed to ask for a 
reasonable handling charge, but they should contact me before doing so.

If you find DlgDrop useful, you can make a small donation (about 2 to 5 
US-Dollars recommended). You can pay with VISA-Card, send a check, cash 
or anything else that you might have handy and that can be converted to 
money. Remember that even a small amount makes a difference. (For 
payment with VISA please include name, card number, expiration date and 
the amount you wish to donate).

If you are paying or not, your feedback is very important to me, so send 
in your comments and suggestions for improvement.

DlgDrop 1.0 - Dialog Drop fuer Windows von Dieter Prifling (1993.03.18)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

DlgDrop erlaubt es, Dateien aus dem Windows Datei Manager in einen 
beliebigen Datei-Oeffnen Dialog einer Applikation zu ziehen.

Einfach DlgDrop starten und am besten gleich in die AutoStart Gruppe 
geben.

Wird eine Datei in ein Eingabefeld gezogen, wird der Dateiname in dieses 
Feld geschrieben. Wird dabei die Steuerungstaste gedrueckt gehalten, 
erfolgt automatisch auch noch die Betaetigung der OK Taste.
Wenn die Datei in einen Dialog, ausserhalb eines Eingabefeldes 
abgelegt wird, scheibt DlgDrop den Dateinamen in das erste Eingabefeld 
und drueckt OK.

DlgDrop arbeitet mit allen Standard Dialogen (der groesste Teil).

Sollten Sie an DlgDrop gefallen finden, koennen Sie mir eine kleine 
Spende zukommen lassen (3 bis 10 DM empfohlen). VISA Kreditkarte, 
Ueberweisung, Scheck oder Bargeld sind ok. Auch ein kleiner Betrag macht 
einen Unterschied. (Bei Bezahlung mit VISA Karte, bitte Namen, 
Kartennummer, Verfallsdatum und den Spendenbetrag angeben).

Egal ob Sie spenden oder nicht, Ihr Kommentar und Ihre 
Verbesserungsvorschlaege sind stets erwuenscht.
