Problem with Drag Drop in VC++

Question

Hi,

I am working for the first time on Drag-Drop in MFC and I am stuck very badly.. I see some format being used for intra-list drag-drop and its value is 49391 always. I have no idea where this number is coming from. I have registered only two formats viz CF_HDROP and another private format [ who value does not match with this ].. can someone please help with this ?

And strange enough, when I checked on msdn, it doesn't give any format value this high: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff729168%28VS.85%29.aspx .. I am getting this value consistently; inspite of re-builds; restarts etc.. So, I am guessing it must be some kind of standard format.. Any kind of assistance would be greatly helpful.

MFC generally uses OLE with Drag and Drop under the covers to do it's work, not the clipboard.

MFC Example.

BUT:

Uniform Data Transfer One section covers using the clipboard amoung other things.

Enabling Drag and Drop without OLE

Enjoy.
