Anders Isaksson and I were discussing an inter-program communication
protocol (using the WM_COPYDATA message) for allowing parts to be dragged
from his LDList program into my LDAO program's editor.  It would be great
if we could agree on a standard for dragon drop between all LCAD programs
(at least, a standard for LCAD in Windows).


Interesting.  If a standard is made, I will support it.

As soon as more than one program accepts it, it's a standard :-) (But not
before)
Feel free to mail me for the details in the LDList end - ask Steve about the
receiving end.

In principle I am just sending a WM_COPYDATA message with a structure
containing (among other things) the part file name. There's also some
negotiation so I know if the window under the cursor is accepting this type of
D&D.

(LDList is written in Borland Pascal (Delphi 2.0))
