Anyone know of a way of obtaining drag information from another application (e.g. Explorer) when the drag begins? Think of this as a drag "spy" process.. the application in question isn't actually involved in the drag/drop: it's just watching

    My initial gut reaction is that this should not be possible. In the early days, you could hook the global message loop and spy, but these days, only the source / target involved will have access. However, there may be an API hook?

    Nowadays if you mess with global hooks, expect your application to be quaranteened by av software ;) You would also run into permissions problems, a lot of things that could be done by anyone before now need admin permissions and will invoke UAC.
