Parameters

  • pDataObject
    Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop.IDataObject

    [in] The item being dragged. This data object contains the data being transferred in the drag-and-drop operation. If the drop occurs, then this data object (item) is incorporated into the hierarchy window.

  • grfKeyState
    Type: UInt32

    [in] Current state of the keyboard and the mouse modifier keys.

  • itemid
    Type: UInt32

    [in] Item identifier of the item currently being dragged. For a list of itemid values, see VSConstants.VSITEMID.

  • area
    Type: UInt32

    [in] The new area the item is to enter.

  • pdwEffect
    Type: UInt32%

    [in, out] On entry, pointer to the value of the pdwEffect parameter of the IVsHierarchy object, identifying all effects that the hierarchy supports. On return, must contain one of the effect flags that indicate the result of the drop operation. For more information, see IVsHierarchyDropDataSource2.

Return Value

Value

Description

DROPEFFECT_NONE

0

Drop target (hierarchy window) cannot accept the data. No drop would be allowed.

DROPEFFECT_COPY

1

Dropped item remains in the source and a copy of it is added to the target.

DROPEFFECT_MOVE

2

Dropped item was added to the target. The item is removed from the source and its storage is deleted.

DROPEFFECT_LINK

4

A link to the source item is added to the target. The source item should then be removed from the source but the storage should remain so that the link is not broken. A link is a special case of move.

The values of the pwdEffects parameter are taken from the DragDropEffects enumeration.
