Dragging objects from parent window to showModalDialog

[elizayiu]

Hi,

I need to write a webpage which does the following:
- open up a window and pass parameters into it (i.e. need to call
showModalDialog() or showModelessDialog())
- contains jscript to support drag and drop objects from itself to the
popup window
- wait for user response in popup window and return results back to
the parent window (i.e. calling showModalDialog() is preferred)

If I call showModalDialog(), the focus will go to the popup window,
i.e. I cannot drag from the parent window. If I call
showModelessDialog(), the focus will go to the parent window when I
drag an object from it but it doesn't switch to the popup window when
my cursor move to the popup window.

Is this even possible?

Thanks,
Eliza

Seems that you are already prepared to use ActiveX. So going to the
win32 APIs would be necessary. I am not sure that the COM interface
called IDropTarget is the way to go, but as you can surmise, you have to
get hold of win32 window representing the control you are trying to
drag, register it with the IDropTarget of the window where you are
dropping, and good luck.
