Please see the other response to Dalibor about how to manage 
drag-and-drop with a tree list. And of course the DnD documentation at 
the FOX web site, as well as the DnD tutorial in the FXRuby User's Guide.

As for the question about FOX DnD interacting with the Windows desktop, 
I'm less sure. FOX *definitely* doesn't use the OLE DnD interfaces (or 
ActiveX, or whatever name it goes by these days). So I suspect you'd 
need to do a lot of homework to figure out how to drag from FOX-based 
applications into non-FOX Windows applications, if it's possible at all.
