- data
- Object
- allowedEffects
- DragDropEffects
- dragImage
- Bitmap
- cursorOffset
- Point
- useDefaultDragImage
- Boolean
Returns
A value from the DragDropEffects enumeration that represents the final effect that was performed during the drag-and-drop operation.
Remarks
The allowedEffects parameter determines which drag operations can occur. If the drag operation needs to interop with applications in another process, data should either be a base managed class (String, Bitmap, or Metafile) or some Object that implements ISerializable. data can also be any Object that implements IDataObject. dragImage is the bitmap that will be displayed during the drag operation and cursorOffset specifies the location of the cursor within dragImage, which is an offset from the upper-left corner. Specify true for useDefaultDragImage to use a layered window drag image with a size of 96x96; otherwise false. Note the outer edges of dragImage are blended out if the image width or height exceeds 300 pixels.
Because DoDragDrop(Object, DragDropEffects, Bitmap, Point, Boolean) always performs the RGB multiplication step in calculating the alpha value, you should always pass a Bitmap without premultiplied alpha blending. No error will result from passing a Bitmap with premultiplied alpha blending, but this method will multiply it again, doubling the resulting alpha value.

Begins a drag-and-drop operation.

- data
- Object
The data to drag.
- allowedEffects
- DragDropEffects
One of the DragDropEffects values.
Returns
A value from the DragDropEffects enumeration that represents the final effect that was performed during the drag-and-drop operation.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates a drag-and-drop operation between two ListBox controls. The example calls the DoDragDrop method when the drag action starts. The drag action starts if the mouse has moved more than SystemInformation.DragSize from the mouse location during the MouseDown event. The IndexFromPoint method is used to determine the index of the item to drag during the MouseDown event.
The example also demonstrates using custom cursors for the drag-and-drop operation. The example requires that two cursor files, 3dwarro.cur and 3dwno.cur, exist in the application directory, for the custom drag and no-drop cursors, respectively. The custom cursors will be used if the UseCustomCursorsCheck CheckBox is checked. The custom cursors are set in the GiveFeedback event handler.
The keyboard state is evaluated in the DragOver event handler for the right ListBox, to determine what the drag operation will be based on state of the SHIFT, CTRL, ALT, or CTRL+ALT keys. The location in the ListBox where the drop would occur is also determined during the DragOver event. If the data to drop is not a String, then the DragEventArgs.Effect is set to None in DragDropEffects. Finally, the status of the drop is displayed in the DropLocationLabel Label.
The data to drop for the right ListBox is determined in the DragDrop event handler and the String value is added at the appropriate place in the ListBox. If the drag operation moves outside the bounds of the form, then the drag-and-drop operation is canceled in the QueryContinueDrag event handler.

The following code example shows how to use the DragDropEffects enumeration to specify how data should be transferred between the controls involved in a drag-and-drop operation. This example requires that your form includes a RichTextBox control and a ListBox control and that the ListBox control is populated with a list of valid file names. When the user drags a file name onto the RichTextBox control, the control's DragEnter event is raised. Within the event handler, the Effect property of the DragEventArgs is initialized to DragDropEffects to indicate that the data referenced by the file path should be copied to the RichTextBox control.
private:
void Form1_Load( Object^ /*sender*/, EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
{
// Sets the AllowDrop property so that data can be dragged onto the control.
richTextBox1->AllowDrop = true;
// Add code here to populate the ListBox1 with paths to text files.
}
void listBox1_MouseDown( Object^ sender, System::Windows::Forms::MouseEventArgs^ e )
{
// Determines which item was selected.
ListBox^ lb = (dynamic_cast<ListBox^>(sender));
Point pt = Point(e->X,e->Y);
int index = lb->IndexFromPoint( pt );
// Starts a drag-and-drop operation with that item.
if ( index >= 0 )
{
lb->DoDragDrop( lb->Items[ index ], DragDropEffects::Link );
}
}
void richTextBox1_DragEnter( Object^ /*sender*/, DragEventArgs^ e )
{
// If the data is text, copy the data to the RichTextBox control.
if ( e->Data->GetDataPresent( "Text" ) )
e->Effect = DragDropEffects::Copy;
}
void richTextBox1_DragDrop( Object^ /*sender*/, DragEventArgs^ e )
{
// Loads the file into the control.
richTextBox1->LoadFile( dynamic_cast<String^>(e->Data->GetData( "Text" )), System::Windows::Forms::RichTextBoxStreamType::RichText );

}
}

Remarks
The allowedEffects parameter determines which drag operations can occur. If the drag operation needs to interoperate with applications in another process, data should either be a base managed class (String, Bitmap, or Metafile), or an object that implements ISerializable or IDataObject.
The following describes how and when events related to drag-and-drop operations are raised.
The DoDragDrop method determines the control under the current cursor location. It then checks to see if the control is a valid drop target.
If the control is a valid drop target, the GiveFeedback event is raised with the drag-and-drop effect specified. For a list of drag-and-drop effects, see the DragDropEffects enumeration.
Changes in the mouse cursor position, keyboard state, and mouse button state are tracked.
If the user moves out of a window, the DragLeave event is raised.
If the mouse enters another control, the DragEnter for that control is raised.
If the mouse moves but stays within the same control, the DragOver event is raised.
If there is a change in the keyboard or mouse button state, the QueryContinueDrag event is raised and determines whether to continue the drag, to drop the data, or to cancel the operation based on the value of the Action property of the event's QueryContinueDragEventArgs.
If the value of DragAction is
Continue, the DragOver event is raised to continue the operation and the GiveFeedback event is raised with the new effect so appropriate visual feedback can be set. For a list of valid drop effects, see the DragDropEffects enumeration.Note
The DragOver and GiveFeedback events are paired so that as the mouse moves across the drop target, the user is given the most up-to-date feedback on the mouse's position.
If the value of DragAction is
Drop, the drop effect value is returned to the source, so the source application can perform the appropriate operation on the source data; for example, cut the data if the operation was a move.If the value of DragAction is
Cancel, the DragLeave event is raised.
Note
The DoDragDrop method catches all exceptions and rethrows only the following security or critical exceptions:
SecurityException
NullReferenceException
StackOverflowException
OutOfMemoryException
ThreadAbortException
ExecutionEngineException
IndexOutOfRangeException
AccessViolationException
