Drag n' Drop works different for Unicode and ANSI versions of wxPython

[Ophir Horowitz]

Hi!

 

I use python2.4 with wxPython 2.8.4.0 Unicode and I have encountered a
weird problem with Drag n' Drop. 

I want to drag texts from my application and drop them on a text box
inside a browser.

When I wrote this code a weird thing happened: it worked only in Firefox
and not in Internet Explorer.

Even weirder is the fact that when I uninstalled the wxPython Unicode
version and installed the ANSI version, the Drag n' Drop started to
work!

 

Of course, this is not a solution, because I need Unicode support in my
application...

 

Here's a simplified code that shows the problem:

import wx

app=wx.PySimpleApp()

def press(evt):

    text_object=wx.TextDataObject()

    text_object.SetText(txt.GetValue())

    dropSource = wx.DropSource(txt)

    dropSource.SetData(text_object)

    result = dropSource.DoDragDrop(wx.Drag_CopyOnly)

 

frame = wx.Frame(None,size=(200,200))

frame.SetBackgroundColour("#EEEEEE")

txt = wx.TextCtrl(frame,-1,pos=(50,50))

txt.SetValue('hello')

txt.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN,press)

frame.Show()

app.MainLoop()

 

Can someone please help?

 

Thanks,

Ophir
