I am a newcomer to Windows XP and delighted to find the iup
module in Lua for Windows because it lets me write some simple
programs that are usable in the desktop. However I have not found
anything yet that lets my programs react to the user dragging
a filer object (icon of a file or directory) into a window.
Can anybody point me in the direction of anything readable about
how Windows works in this respect? When the user initiates a drag
or mouse gesture what information is stored where, and how is it
transmitted to the task owning the window in which it terminates?
What user interfaces are provided for exploiting these events?
On the sytem that I have used up till now these are questions with
simple answers, but I am starting again from scratch so I crave
your patience.
