Is there an easy way to drag something from other app and drop it in my app?
For instance, to drag a file-icon from the Windows Explorer, drop it in my
app so that my app gets the file name? I have read a few articles on the
subject, but it seems quite complex. Are there any published samples?
Thanks for your help.
