Re: Editfield text Drop Question

[Scott Forbes <forbes at ravenna dot com>]

You may want to download the Undo Toolkit  
(<http://www.ravenna.com/~forbes/yonk/source>) and take a look at the  
UndoableEditField control:  It detects when the user has dragged in  
text from outside the EditField by using the MouseEnter event and a  
timer.  It's not pretty, but it works.
If you'd like the EditField to fire its DropObject event when the user  
drags text into the EditField, sign on to report 'lxfrctpr'  
(<http://support.realsoftware.com/feedback/viewreport.php? 
reportid=lxfrctpr>).
