Drag Drop Question

[Gary]

To allow someone to drop something into a control is simple

dragenter put:
if (e->Data->GetDataPresent(DataFormats::Text))

e->Effect = DragDropEffects::Copy;

else

e->Effect = DragDropEffects::None;

and then DragLeave:

whatever the name->Text = e->Data->GetData(DataFormats::Text)->ToString();

But how do you let someone drag something out of your control and put it in
say Word? I've never been able to figure that out.

But how do you let someone drag something out of your control and put it
in say Word? I've never been able to figure that out.

Then your control needs to become a "drop source". I think it does by
implementing the IDropSource interface:

But I'm hazy on the details. You might find a more authoritative source of
information in the shell group:

microsoft.public.platformsdk.shell
