Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] drag/drop treeview questions

[Jason P. <ma...@cc...>]

I have managed to sort out the workings for MY needs, but, I need to 
generalize it for reusability. I haven't messed with the drag and drop 
of files ONTO the treeview, as of yet, but that would most likely 
require drag and drop support for the window itself, with a positive 
HitTest on the treeview. (unless this is another of those 5.6 to 5.8 
bugs from activestate).
