I may have misunderstood your question.
If you want to have your application support graphically dragging things out of it to the desktop, you need to use the IDropSource COM interface and the DoDragDrop function.

I was thinking of creating files from my application. I don't know where to look how the HDROP structure looks like but i dont think there is a member that store the actual data. I know that it is possible to assign a path to a file that the application makes temporarily. But i'm not sure if this works.
Like the winzip tool it extracts file to a temp directory i was thinking of the same thing.
I must say that i'm thinking of other alernative than using ole drag and drop because it seems inpossible to RegisterDragDrop(...) a hwnd to a listbox. I'm using ATL and don't want MFC because it will increase the size of the control.
