Drag and Drop
I've got a memo and an Edit control on a form. I want to select a portion of the text and drag it to the edit control so that I will not have to type it in the edit box. This is a good user interface technique, so how will i do it?
Why don't you just use Copy/Paste on the tmemo and on the TEdit controls.
A better way to do it would be to set up a button to copy the selected text into the Edit box, then all you need is
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender
begin
Edit1.Text := Memo1.SelText;
end;

p.s. if you really want to drag and drop try the Drag and Drop Component Suite at http://www.melander.dk they are the best I have found.
