does anybody know, if wxDROP_ICON is implemented in wxPython (for Windows)?
I would like to change the Cursor in wxFileDropTarget.
The wxWindows manual tells me to use the Macro "wxDROP_ICON" , which is a "GDI" Function.
But I could not find this one in wxPython.
"SetCursor" did not work.
Does anybody have an idea, how changing the Cursor in "wxFileDropTarget" works?
I don't know if it's what you are looking for, but I put a drag-and-drop
example on the wxPython wiki in the ListAndTreeControls section that
manipulates the cursor in the wxDropSource's GiveFeedback() method. Rather
than showing the Drop_Icon cursor, I let the drag-and-drop interface handle
the cursor unless I explicitly blocked it with the No_Entry cursor. I could
not find a reference to the Drop cursors either, so followed this different
route.

You have to do it from the wxDropSource when you start the drag operation. Just give the wxDropSource a set of wxCursors (or wxIcons on platforms other than wxMSW) when you construct it.
You can also do whatever you want in an overridden GiveFeedback method.

I have a problem catching the event.Dragging().
I catch the "EVT_MOTION" and then I would like to set a custom wxDropSource, if the user drags files into the application.
I can "EVT_MOTION" , but never "event.Dragging()", even if I drag something.
EVT_MOTION and event.Dragging are for low level mouse events that happen in your app (IOW, you are moving the mouse across your window while holding down the button.)
DnD is a higher level protocol between windows which is initiated and mostly handled by the source side of the operation.
Is there another possibility to setup a custom wxDropSource for a Panel?
As far as I understand this, I have to catch the Dragging-Event somehow, like "EVT_TREE_BEGIN_DRAG" for a wxTreeCtrl, but there isn't any comparable Event for File-DragAndDrop.
You need to create a wxDropTarget for your panel and set it with SetDropTarget. For getting files then you will want to derive a class from wxFileDropTarget and override its OnDropFiles method. See the demo for more examples.
