That doesn't seem to be it. You probably saw my other post that it works
fine when I'm not running from the IDE.

Perhaps something to do with Vista security?

Has anyone else run into this?

I call DragAcceptFiles(TRUE) in my view's OnCreate() method. And when I
drag files to my view window, I get the arrow with a plus sign,
indicating the files can be accepted.

And yet the WM_DROPFILES is never sent to my window. I implemented
OnDropFiles() and it never gets called. I even tried overriding
WindowProc and setting a breakpoint if the message equals WM_DROPFILES,
and it never does.

I'm a little stumped. Any ideas?

Jonathan, I think you need to do all that in CMainFrame (I think only top
level windows get the drop files). In your MainFrame's handler, forward
it to the active view.
