Handling files dropped on application

[gwthompson]

Hello,

I am relatively new to Revolution Studio although I have built some utility apps to help on my learning path.

My question is:

How do I set up a handler to process files that are dropped on my application in the Finder? Is this automatically an Apple Event?

I am building another little utility that is emulating an AppleScript droplet I have previously created that I want to enhance with Revolution.

Any and all guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Mark,

The link did help somewhat but how do you set a standalone application to allow files to be dropped on it? I'm used to AppleScript droplets which allow pretty much anything to be dropped on them.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary
