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?

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.

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