RE: [Boa Constr] Windows SendTo

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@ho...>]

You should find the code to do this stuff somewhere in PythonWin (which does
support such second-click reuse of the app).  If I'm not mistaken it's
implemented using some kind of DDE conversation going on between the app and
the system.  Since Pythonwin is BSD licensed, you should be able to pull the
code out and wrap it into a module.  I'd suggest doing that instead of just
grafting it into Boa because then you could let any python app use the
mechanism.  I suspect what happens is that the PythonWin executable checks
for other running PythonWin executables then opens an RPC/DDE channel to
pass the arguments if they exist.

HTH,
Mike

No simple ideas.

Boa supports drag-drop from the filemanager so just drag subsequent
files onto the Editor.
