drag and drop

[jetournier]

Hello, I try to do a simple application where I can drag and drop pictures. I'm trying to use the COleDropSource class, and it's member function ::CacheData() as I read it in the Help, but I get an error message like this "CacheData is not a member of COleDropSource". What did I do wrong? Is that the right way or is there something easier/better to do it? Can anybody help me or give me an example of code that actually works? Thanks JET

Hi, A better way is to create a temporary transparent window which covers the whole screen. Use GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) and GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) to get the window dims. Use its mouse events to control the drag.
