DlgDrop 1.1 - Dialog Drop for Windows by Dieter Prifling (1993.12.12)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

* 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 a copyright 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 in 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 should register for 3 US-Dollars (5 Deutsche 
Mark). You can pay with VISA-Card, send a Thomas Cook Draft in German 
currency, or cash. (For payment with VISA please include name, card number, 
and expiration date).

You can order a disk for 10 US-Dollars (15 DM) that contains the most up to
date versions of a lot of shareware programs (small ones like this and a
couple of larger utilities) written by this author.

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

DlgDrop 1.1 - Dialog Drop fuer Windows von Dieter Prifling (1993.12.12)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 die Datei in ein Eingabefeld gezogen, wird der Dateiname in dieses Feld 
geschrieben. Wird dabei die Steuerungstaste gedrueckt gehalten, wird 
automatisch auch noch die OK Taste betaetigt. Wird die Datei in einen Dialog, 
aber ausserhalb eines Eingabefeldes abgelegt, wird der Dateiname in das erste 
Eingabefeld geschrieben und OK gedrueckt.

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

Wenn Sie an DlgDrop Gefallen finden, sollten Sie sich fuer 5 DM registrieren 
lassen. VISA Kreditkarte, Ueberweisung, Scheck oder Bargeld sind ok. (Bei 
Bezahlung mit VISA Karte, bitte Namen, Kartennummer und das Verfallsdatum 
angeben).

Sie koennen auch eine Diskette fuer 15 DM bestellen, die die neuesten 
Versionen von Shareware Programmen (viele kleine wie dieses und ein paar 
umfangreichere) dieses Autors enthaelt.

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