Drag text from windows and drop it in a windows forms Application

Hi there!
I've searched quite a bit for a peice of code to suite some basic
interface need: Drag And Drop. So what I need is to copy text from,
for example Internet Explorer, to form (to a text box or whatever).
The bahavior that I whant to implement is almost like the copy paste,
but from outside the app.

Can someone please me a hint in how to do this?

Thank you, in advance!

Best regards,
JCarias
