Notification after drag/drop operation to Windows Explorer or Desktop

Is it possible to get a notification during a drag and drop operation
to the Windows Explorer / Desktop as soon as the user drops an item
there? I need this in order to perform an export operation upon such a
notification (my intention is to provide the user an easy way of
exporting data by dragging items from a ListView of my application
into Windows Explorer or onto the Desktop).

I saw similar behaviour in non .NET applications (e.g. ZIP unpackers:
dragging files from the archive into Windows Explorer performs an
unpacking of these files into the target folder). But is it possible
with .NET?
Greetings, Jens

I need to add the ability to drag from a Windows Form and drop into a non dotNet application. For example, having a generated image in my app that I wish to drag out into explorer as a friendly way to save it. I have tried creating the object that I place into the DoDragDrop() by inheriting the COM interfaces IDropSource and IDataObject with no luck. If anyone can help I am very much open to suggestions.

There seems to be two ways to put things on the clipboard ( I don't mean different formats): SetClipboardData and OleSetClipboard If I want to get data off the clipboard do I care how it was put there? What about Drag/Drop; is there more than one way for the source to make data available Is it always OLE?

I am looking for VBA code that will work with Access 2003 to enable dragging and dropping a file/folder name from Windows XP Explorer into an Access form's text box. This is a common functionality that most Windows programs have, so I'm suprised it's not easier to implement in Access/VBA. Through Google, I found two VB6 examples and one VBA example on the Access Web written by Dev Ashish. The VB6 examples used loops to keep checking...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
