Drag Manager

The Drag Manager supports Drag-and-Drop operations between windows and applications. New features for the Drag Manager include:
  • ShowDragHilite now uses the highlight color chosen by the user in the Appearance control panel.

  • A potential crashing problem that could occur with translucent drags has been corrected in this version of the Drag Manager. In previous versions of the Drag Manager, a pointer to an unlocked relocatable block (a handle's master pointer) was being used in SetDragImage.
