In fact, drag and drop of files (although not of any other type of object) can be achieved using the DragAcceptFiles() API and the WM_DROPFILES messages. Also, the clipboard can be accessed using EnumClipboardFormats() and GetClipboardData(). You can't however do OLE without COM, but DDE is certainly possible (DDE predates the introduction of COM along with OLE in Windows 3.1). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
