IDropTarget
The IDropTarget interface is one of the interfaces you implement to provide drag-and-drop
operations in your application. It contains methods used in any application that
can be a target for data during a drag-and-drop operation. A drop-target
application is responsible for:
- Determining the effect of the drop on the target application.
- Incorporating any valid dropped data when the drop occurs.
- Communicating target feedback to the source so the source application can
provide appropriate visual feedback such as setting the cursor.
- Implementing drag scrolling.
- Registering and revoking its application windows as drop targets.
The IDropTarget interface contains methods that provide all these responsibilities except
registering and revoking the application window as a drop target.
When to Implement
Implement the IDropTarget interface if you are developing a container or server application that can
act as a target for a drag-and-drop operation. The IDropTarget interface is associated with your application windows and is instantiated
whenever the window is registered as a target for dropped data. You must call the RegisterDragDrop function and the RevokeDragDrop function to register and remove your application's windows as drop targets.
When to Use
The DoDragDrop function calls your IDropTarget methods within a loop during the drag-and-drop operation.
For example, DoDragDrop calls IDropTarget::DragEnter when it detects the mouse has moved over a window that is registered as a
drag target. Once the mouse has entered a drag-target window, DoDragDrop calls IDropTarget::DragOver as the mouse moves through the window and calls IDropTarget::DragLeave if the mouse leaves the target window or if the user cancels or completes the
drag-and-drop operation. DoDragDrop calls IDropTarget::Drop when the drop finally occurs if it occurs at all.

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 » |
