Dragging and Dropping Files in a Frame Window

|  Overview |  How Do I |  Tutorial

The frame window manages a relationship with the Windows Explorer or File Manager.

By adding a few initializing calls in your override of the CWinApp member function InitInstance, as described in CWinApp: The Application Class, you can have your frame window indirectly open files dragged from the Windows Explorer or File Manager and dropped in the frame window.
