Baffling, bloody fricking baffling.  I spent at least 15 minutes on the 
site trying various permutations of searches, and that URL never came 
up. *sigh*

Anyway, thanks, that _seems_ to be what I need, but I'm not sure what 
the "Windows XP SP1" bit means -- is it a part of XP SP1, or does it 
require it, or what?

He's a right bastard, that one. =)

It seems possible to install the SDK even on Win98 (Don't ask me
why I know), but I think it did want WinXP as the platform,
but I may remember this incorrectly (NT might also be ok here)

[GD-Windows] Drag and drop from Outlook Express

[Pierre T. <p.t...@wa...>]

I'd like to be able to drag-and-drop mails from Outlook Express directly
into my app. I've already implemented drag-and-drop from files to a running
app in the past, it worked fine. But I'm not sure how to do that with mails
from Outlook.

When I drag a mail from Outlook to, say the Windows desktop, cursor changes
to the little "+" indicating drop is possible. Then a file is created, say
Mail.eml.

However, if I drag that same mail over my app (which otherwise supports
drag-and-drop of other files), the cursor doesn't change and nothing
happens.

So I guess there's something missing to enable that kind of interaction.
Ideally I'd like to get back the eml file(s) directly into my app, even if I
have to create them myself from whatever I get from Outlook when the drop
occurs...

Ideas ?

Cheers :)
Pierre

[Ivan-Assen I. <as...@ha...>]

You should write a simple application that dumps all the
available Clipboard formats that are carried with the drag'n'drop
(drag'n'drop functionality is very similar to Clipboard cut'n'paste).

Examine them and you'll probably find one that suits you.

Oh, and RTFMSDN too :-)

Assen

RE: [GD-Windows] Drag and drop from Outlook Express

[Jon W. <hp...@mi...>]

I think Outlook may be using OLE/COM drag-and-drop data interchange,
which is rather nastier (as far as I can find) than the regular file-
and-message-based drag-and-drop that I'm sure you're using now.

I just did a search again, and searching for IDropTarget and
RegisterDragDrop seems to be the start of the documentation yarn ball
for this topic.

Cheers,
