DROPEFFECT
The DoDragDrop function and many of the methods in the IDropSource and IDropTarget interfaces pass information about the effects of a drag-and-drop operation in
a DROPEFFECT enumeration.
Valid drop effect values are the result of applying the OR operation to the
values contained in the DROPEFFECT enumeration:
typedef enum tagDROPEFFECT
{
DROPEFFECT_NONE = 0,
DROPEFFECT_COPY = 1,
DROPEFFECT_MOVE = 2,
DROPEFFECT_LINK = 4,
DROPEFFECT_SCROLL = 0x80000000,
}DROPEFFECT;
These values have the following meaning:
DROPEFFECT name
| Value
| Description
| DROPEFFECT_NONE
| 0
| Drop target cannot accept the data.
| DROPEFFECT_COPY
| -
| Drop results in a copy. The original data is untouched by the drag source.
| DROPEFFECT_MOVE
| -
| Drag source should remove the data.
| DROPEFFECT_LINK
| 4
| Drag source should create a link to the original data.
| DROPEFFECT_SCROLL
| 0x80000000
| Scrolling is about to start or is currently occurring in the target. This
value is used in addition to the other values.
|
Note Your application should always mask values from the DROPEFFECT enumeration to ensure compatibility with future implementations. Presently,
only four of the 32 bit positions in a DROPEFFECT have meaning. In the future, more interpretations for the bits will be added.
Drag sources and drop targets should carefully mask these values appropriately
before comparing. They should never compare a DROPEFFECT against, say, DROPEFFECT_COPY by
if (dwDropEffect == DROPEFFECT_COPY)...
Instead, the application should always mask for the value or values being
sought:
if (dwDropEffect & DROPEFFECT_COPY) == DROPEFFECT_COPY)...
or
if (dwDropEffect & DROPEFFECT_COPY)...
This allows for the definition of new drop effects, while preserving backwards
compatibility with existing code.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
