Don, Using DragDrop, as shown in the example in online help, gives a problem. If the user "drops" the outline while he's over a control, and that control's DragOver event has set the MousePointer of the Source to 12, then the Source Mousepointer remains at 12. Right now, the only workaround is to code a DragDrop routine in each of the controls that has a DragOver so that Source.Mousepointer is set back to zero. So, my suggestion is that when the user does a drag-drop, either he should get a Source_MouseUp event, or a new event to indicate dragging has finished. Mark

Mark, I told them about this problem waaay back in May. I ran into that problem in my prototype charting application. After talking to John Fine and Adam Rauch, apparently it's not so easy to get a MouseUp event sent out, but I'm holding out for 2.0 to have this feature. I'm glad I'm not the only one who found this to be a problem! – Ted There is 1 Reply.

Ted, I can accept no MouseUp event if they'd just give us a *new* event – DragDone – anything to avoid all that code in all the DragDrop routines… Mark There is 1 Reply.

Mark, I'd accept anything that told me the dragging was done and a DragDone would be nice event. I still think that if I get a MouseDown and start dragging programatically (doing Drag.1), I should get a MouseUp. However, a DragDone event would be more generic and would be very useful also. Hey Don, did you get this for the must-have-in-2.0 list? – Ted
