Delphi drag and drop from outlook

My goal is to implement a document manager that is able to accept every file you drop in it, but which is also able to accept mails directly from outlook. Managing the file drop isn't a big problem and works really well, but I can't get the drag an drop from outlook working.

I found a drag and drop library (Melander dk) Ā that is able to accept mails directly from outlook, but I can't get it working together with the Virtual Treeview component. I would like to be able to drop mails to a specific node in the Tree. Is this possible using the Melander Dk library ? Or can I get the mail by handling the standard onDragDrop event from the Virtual Treeview?

have you got drag/drop implemented for other items in the VTV ?

or is this your first attempt at implementing creating node items during a drop ?

have you seen this idea ?

Hi Geert,

drag/drop of existing files is already implemented. Problem with drag/drop from outlook is that the dropped email isn't an existing file.
Right now I use the VTV onDragDrop and onDragOver events to handle the file drops.
