I am writing a file manager and I currently support simple, filename-
based, drag-drop. I'd like to create the appropriate Shell IDList
Array so that when a user drags a file into Paint or Photoshop or word
it will open correctly.
The research I've done points to "Shell IDList Array" but most of it
is determining how to accept and parse the CIDA, I'm looking for how
to build it and load the DataObject appropriatly.
Any help would be great.

I put something up on Code Project which may help: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/JFileManager31.aspx
There is a class in it called cDropFiles which takes a file path (or array
of file paths) and converts it/them into a DataObject which you can put on
the ClipBoard.

Thanks, that was a big help. Now the problem I have is the code you
wrote creates DataObjects as memoryStreams but when I drop a file from
FileManager it gives me an array of strings.
I'll work on it and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the nudge.

have a common style and are callable from other (python) tools
directly, instead of having to...

hello everybody,
is there a way of creating an array with help of a function that would
accept the name of this array as a parameter and then create global
Array type variable of that name?
so that for example the following code would work as well in browsers as

My C# application is a drop target for the drop format Shell IDList

I have some problems actually getting the data. I was using the same
code used for the FileDrop data target but I'm getting an exception.
What's the correct way to handle this type of data?
I receive an invalid cast exception.
Here's my non working code

For array.array "B" means unsigned char, and such arrays accept to be

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
