I made an editor which written in pure WinAPI. Some users want the caption icon become a drag source of the file that opened in editor, like what the explorer window does. I have no idea to implement such feature. Can someone give me example please?

You will have to listen to mouse events in the non-client area[^] of your window, and then implement the "drag" part of Drag and Drop[^].
