Note Use the -d option when running dragd95.exe to
decompress the file and recreate the proper directory structure. If you are
using Visual C++ 5.0 you may get a message:
"This project was generated by a previous version of Developer Studio.
Continuing will convert it to the new format. Do you want to convert the
project?"
Accept this by clicking "Yes."
Please note the following problem
Dragd95.exe reports a memory leak when the steps below are taken:
- Build the debug version of the sample. Then, run the .exe.
- Drag one item from left pane to right pane.
- Close the .exe. You should see the memory leak in the
output window of VC++.
Resolution
The following code needs to be at the bottom of OnHandleDrag()
(that is, before the last return statement):
delete m_pDragImage;
m_pDragImage = NULL;
More information
Windows 95 Common controls implement their own style of drag and
drop. However, this style of drag and drop does not support dragging to other
applications. To enable this functionality, it is possible to implement OLE
drag and drop using the Common controls. Unfortunately, when OLE drag and drop
is implemented, the Common control drag image is lost.
It is
possible, when implementing OLE drag and drop, to preserve the Common control
drag image. However, this image will only be displayed when the pointer is over
the application that is the source of the data. This is because the image is
not a system-wide resource and belongs to the application that is the source of
the data. This behavior is consistent with that of the shell in Windows 95. In
Windows 95, you will notice that the drag image is lost over applications other
than the Explorer or the Windows shell. The shell and any instances of the
Explorer that are running are a single instance of the same application.
OLE drag and drop as implemented by this sample is straight forward.
When a drag is started, a COleDataSource object is loaded with data and
COleDataSource::DoDragDrop() is called. The data source is loaded with a
CF_TEXT format and a private clipboard format that has been registered.
Applications that understand CF_TEXT, such as Microsoft Word, can be a drop
target for the data. You can also implement a COleDropTarget object so that you
can be a drop target for your own custom clipboard format.
Common
controls normally begin a drag operation in response to the LVN_BEGINDRAG
message. You can also take advantage of this message to begin the drag
operation. This is where the similarity with Common control drag and drop ends.
Common control drag and drop uses mouse messages to control tracking the drag
image and processing the drop. You will not be able to use mouse messages
because, after you begin the drag operation, control is passed to OLE's
DoDragDrop() function.
To control the tracking and display of the
common control drag image, you will implement a COleDropSource object and pass
it to the DoDragDrop() function. COleDropSource implements a GiveFeedback()
function that is called to give feedback about the effect of a drop at the
current mouse position as the mouse is moved over a drop target. Overriding the
GiveFeedback() function and obtaining the position of the mouse gives you a
chance to control tracking and display of the drag image.
