I am trying to implement Drag/Drop in an UltraFormattedTextEditor, so I can a) copy or move text into the control from another application or window, b) move text about within the editor, c) copy text in the editor, and d) move or copy text out of the control.I have created a sample application. This creates a fake selection whilst the user is dragging inside the editor. However, for some reason upon dropping, the mouse button seems to get "stuck" down, and I can't see any reason for this. In addition, the editor seems to be ignoring the selections I am trying to give it, and is selecting text on it's own.Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? (or perhaps it's another bug with the editor!)Thanks,Campbell
PS. Is there no way to do this natively? I think the RichTextBox does, so I'm surprised it's not a built in option.

Thanks for raising this as a product idea. Do you have any idea why the mouse is getting stuck down in my example though? I'm having to do API mouse calls to unstick it currently.
Hello,
Actually I took quite some time making a sample for you. I think that the inside editor is messing up with the events you and I are using. I started from a blank new project and got exactly where your project is. I do not know what is happening in the background between the control's events and the inside editor, so this is now up to the engineering staff.
