Drag and Drop from Listview -> Explorer (stored file).

[9to5]

Hi there,

I'm writing an application which works similar to winzip which
basically reads from an internal file structure and writes to a file. I
need to be able to drag out of my list view and drop a file onto
Explorer. I got it to work by copying the original source file in
OnItemDrag() as follows:

DataObject sFile = new DataObject();

string[] aFiles = new string[1];

aFiles[0] = strFile;

sFile.SetData( DataFormats.FileDrop, aFiles );

DoDragDrop( sFile, DragDropEffects.Copy );

This copies from the original source file but I can't find any
information anywhere on how to set it up so that it will copy from a
memory or file stream source? Basically, I need it to ask my
application for the data so I can then decompress and stream it out.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Darryl
