Re: Drag files onto my app

The only way I could do this is to handle the drag and drop myself.

What you will need to do is to first get rid of the call to DragAcceptFiles.

Then use multi-inheritance to derive your CMainFrame class from both
CMDIFrameWnd and COleDropTarget (don't worry about this, it is perfectly
safe).
Then in your OnCreate method call Register(this); to register the frame
window as a drop target. Then catch the WM_CLOSE message to revoke the drop
target from the window by calling Revoke();

Next is handling the drag and drop.
You will need to override a few methods that are in COleDropTarget, mainly :
OnDragEnter, OnDragOver, OnDrop, and return the appropriate drop operation
based on the file type being passed in.

Let me know if you need an example app to get you rolling.
