I can't seem to make IE selected text draggable into my MFC application. Take a look at the sample VS 2008 C++ solution attached. To illustrate, compile and open the app. Then open an IE (the one I'm using is IE 9 version 9.0.8112, update versions 9.0.12), select any text in it and drag it into the app's text box. It won't let you. But if you try it with practically any other web browser (Chrome, FF) it works just fine.
Can someone explain why can't I make it work with IE?
I've tried it and works with no problem (Windows 7, Internet Explorer 9).

You didn't run IE and my app elevated, did you? I did my test on a Standard user account and there seems to be UIPI conflict between a lower privileged IE and my app.
I've simply tried under a standard user account and it works with no elevation or other stuff of this kind.
I confirm the effect exists.Quote:

What's interesting, when entering the textbox the icon looks change from standard 'no drop', black-and-white, transparent, no-shadow icon to red-and-white, opaque 'no drop' icon with a shadow.
Thank you, both.
Evidently one needs to allow drag-and-drop from IE through the registry.
