Hi,

In MDI application, I have views and CMFCTaskpane and other panes.

I subclassed CMFCTaskpane and I implemented drag and drop.

For implementing drag and drop, I am calling DragDetect() in OnLbuttondown to check whether drag is started or not. But if DragDetect() returns false it suppresses the WM_LBUTTONUP. In CMFCTaskpane generally when user do normal click , the OnLbuttondown and OnLButtonUp will be called and OnLButtonUp calls OnClickTask, but if I call DragDetect() in OnLbuttondown it suppresses the WM_LBUTTONUP so normal click operation is not working.

How to check the drag operation is started or not in OnLbuttondown without using DragDetect()?

Thanks

    One solution to the problem is to use the Ctrl key + WM_LBUTTONDOWN to identify a drag and drop operation. In the mouse handler only initiate drag and drop if the Ctrl key is down.
