Hi All,

I read a newsgroup post that Drew Hammond answered regarding drag-drop files
between a remote desktop client and server. He said this is not supported
(However copy/paste is).

Is this still the case? We need the ability to drag /drop an email from a
WInXP (or 2000) client into a .NET application running under Terminal
Services on Win 2000 Server. At a more simple level, even if we could
drag/drop a file, that would possibly suffice.

What's the best way to do this? If its not supported, can we write our own
custom channel into RDP??

Thanks,

Zubs

Hi Zubs,

Drag/Drop is still not supported in Win2k or Win2k3. However, there are
virtual channels that allow you to extend the TS connection to fit your
application. To implement this, you can write a client (mstsc.exe) plug-in
and have your server-side application use the proper APIs to host the
virtual channel.

As for the specifics of Drag/Drop, you would need to implement an instance
of the IDropTarget interface which you can pass to RegisterDragDrop. Drag &
Drop Guide:

Good luck!
Drew

Thanks Drew for your tips.

Has anyone out there done something like this?
