Hi,

I'm trying to implement a drag and drop utility in my listbox to interact with other programs, such as notepad++, visual studio, ... in way to drag same text into my listbox and also drag same text from it.

All examples that I found work with files. I want to drag and drop simple text.

Can anyone help me here?

Best regards,
Filipe Marques

When using MFC, you can use the COleDataSource and COleDataObject classes to implement Drag & Drop. The link http://aclacl.brinkster.net/MFC/ch19c.htm[^] provides a good explanantion with examples.

To pass text, you can use global memory data with the CF_TEXT and CF_UNICODETEXT formats.
