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

[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
