The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft OLE Libraries for Windows and Win32s, version 2.02

Microsoft OLE Libraries, included with:

    - Microsoft Windows NT, versions 3.5 and 3.51
    - Microsoft Windows 95

OLE version 2.02 and later provide drag-drop functionality that allows data to be dragged between and within applications. DRGDRPS is a sample that provides an OLE drag-drop Source that allows data of format CF_TEXT to be dragged from it.

The DRGDRPS sample implements IDataObject, IDropSource, and IEnumFormatEtc interfaces. It calls DoDragDrop when the user clicks on its main window to initiate a drag. It allows copying of data by dragging to a drag-drop target.
