Help with a fix you implemented back in v1.3.1 of editcontrl
Posted: 13 Dec 2009, 22:15
Hi,
I've recently discovered that my application (done in C++ Builder) appears to suffer from a problem you fixed back in v1.3.1 of EditControls and was wondering if you'd be kind enough to tell me what you did?!
The fix in question is this one:
"- FIX: Drop descriptions didn't work as expected if the drag source was a 64 bit app."
In my own tool, when I drag from Explorer or something else 64bit, I get the nice big drag image ok but the description doesn't show up at all (even though the function to set it IS being called). Another odd thing is that I still get the old style cursors and not the newer looking ones with blue '+' or red '0' by the side of them (if that makes sense).
If I open 2 instances of my program and drag from an 'open file' dialog box, everything works perfectly... so it's just a 64bit -> 32bit issue like the one you appear to have had back in 2008.
I must also say 'Thank You' for your input to a thread about the Vista drag+drop stuff that I came across via a Google search (and to be fair, that's why I'm here asking for your help now). Without it, I'd probably still (months later) be searching for the info I needed!
