Re: Drag-&-drop from the Windows Explorer?

Thanks to Alex Tweedly's post a few years back and pointed to:

http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/DragAndDropWithFolderMovingAndRearranging

I did it using Pythoncard style:

class FileDropTarget(wx.FileDropTarget):
    def __init__(self, parent, obj):
        wx.FileDropTarget.__init__(self)
        self.parent = parent
        self.obj = obj

    def OnDropFiles(self, x, y, filenames):
        try:
            exec "self.parent.on_%s_DropFiles(x, y, filenames)"%self.obj.name
        except:
            pass
        return

class MyClass(Minimal):

    def on_initialize(self, event):
        Minimal.on_initialize(self, event)
        self.components.tree.SetDropTarget(FileDropTarget(self, self.components.tree))

    def on_tree_DropFiles(self, x, y, filenames):
        print filenames

This works.  The only problem is that I don't know how to figure out who the dropped target is (in other words: which branch or item the dragged file was dropped onto) and so I can only assume that the selected item is the dropped target.  Does anybody know how to figure out the dropped target?
