wx.DropFilesEvent¶

This class is used for drop files events, that is, when files have been dropped onto the window.

The window must have previously been enabled for dropping by calling wx.Window.DragAcceptFiles .

Important note: this is a separate implementation to the more general drag and drop implementation documented in the Drag and Drop Overview. It uses the older, Windows message-based approach of dropping files.
