I use an ODBC database with MFC. The user selects a few recrods from the data base, which are no more than file names on the hard disk. Now the user has to transfer the selected files to an archive by just drag & drop. (The backup utility program's window accepts files dropped into it from explorer).
I have opened Explorer from my program, but then how to programmatically select the desired files? It is enough if these files are highlighted in explorer, to enable me drag them away.
