Question about Drag and Drop

Hi, All:
     for wxpython drag and drop, I found that most of the examples are
drag item within app frame, or drag files out side to app frame. I
wonder is there a way to drag files in app frame out to system folder?
     Thanks!

well, Thanks, but the example there is still drag file FROM windows
folder TO app, what I want is drag file FROM app TO windows folder. I
am not sure how to do that .
Thanks anyway!

All you have to do is to use a data type that the system recognizes for file drops and then implement the source side of the DnD like normal. The system (or any other target that recognizes the data type) will respond appropriately. wx.FileDataObject will be the correct native data type on each platform.
