drag and drop issue...If I use software like OpenOffice and try to drag text I could notice that
1. when I drag inside the document I'm moving the text 2. when I drag outside the document I'm copying the text Yet it all looks like one smooth operation. With correct cursor feedback (the little + marker next to the icon). My problem is, once I call DoDragDrop() it's blocking, I have no other opportunities to change the AllowedEffect to only Copy if I drag over, say, an other control And QueryContinueDrag: 1. don't allow me to change the efect 2. don't inform me about the current drop target How could I do that? (i.e. how could I modify the allowed efffect depending on the target (i.e. wether it's me or not)) The DragDropEffects enum is a Flags enum so when DoDrapDrop'ing at the
source, if the data can be moved or copied then you set the effect to DragDropEffects.Copy | DragDropEffects.Move The when the destination handles drag enter, that can decide whether it should be copied or moved to it. I generally like to make a struct or class to hold more information that the dragdrop'd data like the source object and anythign else used in the descision. Then if dragging to another part of my app then i can handle it easily.

Perhaps I was not clear enough? I'm trying to do something which looks impossible with the public .NET API, yet Word and OpenOffice manage it. In pseudo code it will look like that: if(target == this) AllowedEffect = Copy | Move; else AllowedEffect = Copy; Of course the source should update the AllowedEffect every time the target change. Which is not possible with the API, yet Word manage to do it. So I wonder how it does it...

You could then test for the type of data. -- Jeff Gaines Hi Lloyd,
The key is that your drop targets must be aware of the source, not the other way around. You may want to read the following article: "Performing Drag and Drop Operations" http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms973845.aspx (The article uses VB.NET; sorry :) -- Show quoteDave Sexton "Lloyd Dupont" <net.galador@ld> wrote in message news:%23%23xYcz8DHHA.3520@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > No, it didn't H! > > Perhaps I was not clear enough? > I'm trying to do something which looks impossible with the public .NET > API, yet Word and OpenOffice manage it. > > > In pseudo code it will look like that: > > if(target == this) > AllowedEffect = Copy | Move; > else > AllowedEffect = Copy; > > Of course the source should update the AllowedEffect every time the target > change.
