Question Is there a way to detect when an application is being dragged over my application?

Hi,
I want to track when any application is being moved over (dragged over) the top of my application. Is this information available?

You'll have to look at all the Windows messages to see if such a message exists.

To what end? Not saying that it couldn't be a legitimate thing to do but it does seem an odd thing to do. I'm curious, if nothing else.

HI,
I am trying to put dragged applications in a Winform. Then they can be moved as a group out of the way or to a specific location.

So are you actually interested in when other windows are dropped on your form, as opposed to when they are dragged over it?

Sorry, Yes. I just assumed that the only way to achieve this was by knowing when the application is being dragged over my app.
