Dear all, I would love to hear from someone who has got dropping items from a view onto explorer. I wish to drag items out of my tree view and have them become files. (.txt)

This article seems to provide useful details.

I have looked into the way windows does this and from what I understand, i need to create a COleDataSource. Constructing the data to pass to the source is a bit involved but ok.. then call DoDragDrop on the DataSource and your home and dry.

Qt seems to have or fake something that can recieve windows drops, but does anyone have experience of dropping stuff from qt? I.e. how would I write a qt app that can use a COleDataSource?
