Drawganizer Interface - powerful file searches from your application

The new interface is in Drawganizer now

With Drawganizer Version 2.03 we introduced a simple interface which allows Drawganizer to be launched from your application and to return the files found to your application. A ready-to-run example program is included in the interface demo file (226KB), together with the example source code. You need to have Drawganizer version 2.03 or later installed to run the demo program successfully (yes I know it's obvious!).

Advantages to you

The advantages to you are that you can apply powerful filters to get the files from anywhere on the PC or network with very little effort on your part. If your program processes lots of files, it is sometimes difficult for the user to actually get the files into your application. For example, you might produce a batch graphic file conversion program. The user wants to convert all files in several folders that were modified in the last 3 days. With a simple Drawganizer drawing, these files can be found. The drawing would be called from your application, Drawganizer could run in the background and return the files to your application.

If you would like to add batch processing functionality to your application, Drawganizer provides the obvious choice.

If your application already has a means of finding files, you could add the option of using a Drawganizer drawing to the existing methods.

How to use Drawganizer with your application

We offer Drawganizer for bundling with your application at a very reasonable price. The bundled version will contain all file-finding Drawganizer components, but not the file-action components, such as printing, backup, copying etc. If you wish, you could become an affiliate to receive payment for full copies of Drawganizer ordered from the version bundled with your application.

A simpler option

If you don't need all the power of Drawganizer to search for files for your application, you might like to look at our other program, DDFileCatcher, which has a stay-on-top window that accepts files or shortcuts dropped onto it from Windows Explorer, My Computer etc and converts them into text. From DDFileCatcher version 1.03 onwards, DDFileCatcher can be launched by your application and return files to it. The demonstration file contains a demo exe together with its source code.
