dear builders - or let's begin like that: dear Remy :-)

u've posted me an intressting link about creating scrap files in the components.using thread..
as you know, i need to drag selected text (RichEdit) out and drop it into the desktop or
even a normal "Windows Explorer" window, i still cannot figure out, how to beginn..

what is the: IDataObject ? it's a interface, OK...but how do i use it excatly...?

i've looked in google and i found how to declare it (in 3 languages..)

/*****************************************************/
[Visual Basic] Overloads Public Overridable Sub Paste
( _
   ByVal data As IDataObject, _
   ByVal x As Integer, _
   ByVal y As Integer _
)

[C#] public virtual void Paste
(
   IDataObject data,
   int x,
   int y
);

[JScript] public function Paste
(
   data : IDataObject,
   x : int,
   y : int
);
/*****************************************************/

i've also noticed this:

/*****************************************************/
Requirements:

Platforms: Windows XP Family SP2 or higher (!!!!!)
/*****************************************************/

does it really mean, that if i'm using Win2000, ME, or below i can't use the function...?

can someone PLEASE help me to solve the problem, i've looked also in this
great tutorial: http://www.catch22.net/tuts/dragdrop.asp
but there is no description how to drop the selected text that i need (from the RichEdit)
and drop it into the Windows Explorer (maybe is described, but i can't see it..)
the site shows how to drag'n drop between 2 selfcreated-applications...but what about
the windows-explorer...


can someone have a look on it...?
