I was going to post this on the gtk-win32 list but I remembered that it only 
deals with certain specific issues, such as packaging and distribution 
problems, so I hope someone here will be able to help.

I'm in the process of converting an app that was originally written for Linux 
and uses gtk-x11.  I've mostly managed to get it running under Windows, using 
Visual C++ and gtk-win32.

Under Linux, the app supports dragging and dropping of certain audio files (for 
example, WAV files).  So, using Nautilus, the user can select a WAV file and 
drop it into one of several containers within the app.  The WAV file is then 
effectively imported for use in the app.

My understanding of drag'n'drop within gtk is quite limited but it seems to 
work by using an object of type gtk_selection_data.  So if I run my app under 
Windows and I drag a WAV file into the app from Windows Explorer, the code 
fails.

Obviously, Windows Explorer has no knowledge of gtk_selection_data objects so 
for this to work, I'm guessing that gtk-win32 would need to intercept the 
operation and construct such an object from whatever gets provided by the 
Windows OS.

Before I spend too much time tracking down the problem, is this something 
that's still waiting to be implemented in gtk-win32 - or should it 
theoretically be working already?  It looks as if I'm at version 2.14.7-1 of  
gtk-win32.

Thanks,

John
