File Type Command Args |
When a workbench icon is dropped on this object, the file type is found
using the main File Types list. Once
located, the matching command from here is executed. The File Type attribute may include AmigaOS patterns, so it is possible, for example, to match any image type with image/*. If a file could not be identified, or there is no command for its type, an error will be reported. To provide a default file type, a name match on * can be used in the main File Types list. Commands are run asynchronously. To control the stack size and priority, double click the entry or select Edit | ||||

Layout |
The Dropcmd object provides all the features of a Layout group, so classes such as bitmaps or icons
may be included. If a Dropcmd is included inside of a of a Dropcmd, then the inner most object will be used. This allows the use of a large, general Dropcmd, with smaller, specific actions inside it. Also note that variable definitions exported by an object can be used anywhere inside that object. For example, one might include a DropCmd object inside of a Screenswitch object. The command arguments can then reference both the DropCmd variable and the Screenswitch variables, so that for example, dropping an icon for a picture file might view the picture on the indicated public screen. There are many possibilities. | ||||
