In OS/2 1.2 & 1.3 it is possible to make a program which supports the
File Manager's 'drag-and-drop'-interface.

(E.g. the Print Manager and the shareware PMZIP.)

I want to support this in my programs.

So you select one or more files in the File Manager, and then drag them to the
window or icon of your own application.

My question: How can I support this in my own PM-programs ??

Thanks,

Matthijs van Doorn

The drag & drop API's are documented in IBM OS/2 Tools & Info 1.2/1.3. If 
you have the old toolkit (1.2) you can upgrade it (maybe even for free) to 
1.2/1.3. I don't know if MS has any doc's on the drag & drop API's out.
These API's all begin with 'Drg' and are documented in the on-line doc's as
well as in print.

In 1.2, the drag-n-drop protocol is unsupported/undocumented.  In 1.3,
look under the (ridiculously complex) Drg* API calls.
