UserControl Drag to Windows Explorer

[LorinM]

Created a UserControl on a Form in VB6. All in same project.
I need to be able to drag from the usercontrol to windows explorer to do a file copy.
I know how to do this with a ListView sitting on a form.
Even though the UserControl_OLEStartDrag is available, it is not functional. i,e, it does not trigger when a leftmousedown+mousemnove occurs.
I have seen that this a COM thing that prevents this, but there must be a way to do this.
Can someone show me some sample code that works.
I have already got code to raise an event within the usercontrol when a leftmousedown+mousemove occurs, but cannot get the parent form to initialize the dataobject.
Maybe there is another way but I can't figure that out.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't know if this is your problem or not; but it might help.
Drag-and-Drop in UserControls

I have no problem with DragDrop.

I cannot get DragStart etc to work.
I want to drag from the USerControl to something outside the application.

THis is do-able from a ListView or other control sitting on a form using OLEDragStart etc. but this will not function from a UserControl.

Anybody else have suggestions?
