{{DISPLAYTITLE:_TOTALDROPPEDFILES}}
The [[_TOTALDROPPEDFILES]] function returns the number of items (files or folders) dropped in a program's window after [[_ACCEPTFILEDROP]] is enabled.


{{PageSyntax}}
: {{Parameter|totalFilesReceived&}} = [[_TOTALDROPPEDFILES]]


{{PageDescription}}
* After [[_ACCEPTFILEDROP]] is enabled, [[_TOTALDROPPEDFILES]] will return 0 until the user drops files or folders into the program's window.
* When using [[_DROPPEDFILE]] to read the list sequentially, [[_TOTALDROPPEDFILES]] will be reset to 0 after the last item is retrieved (after [[_DROPPEDFILE]] returns an empty string "").
* If using [[_DROPPEDFILE]] with an index, you must call [[_FINISHDROP]] after you finish working with the list.
* When using [[_DROPPEDFILE]] to read the list with an index, [[_TOTALDROPPEDFILES]] will '''not''' be reset (and the list of items won't be cleared) until [[_FINISHDROP]] is called.
