Fill a blank space with dragging elements and text boxes (Win32/C++)

Rodan 1

Hello everyone, I'm new with coding Win32 applications. I've never made an app before but I would like to make an interface which displays my grid on the right and a menu on the left which will have dragging circles and text boxes to fill.

Hi @Rodan ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

You selected three tags below, could you please specify your project type, whether it is a win32 project or a WinUI3 project?

Thank you,
Junjie

Hi @Rodan ,

Have you checked this document? It introduces the drag and drop function of win32.
You can find the official sample here.

Thank you,

Not sure if it is something like this test, where I used ImageList_BeginDrag/ImageList_DragEnter/... APIs,
adapted from old MS SDK sample IMAGELST.c :
