How to drag a record containing multiple strings

[Steve Black]

I am using Win10, Delphi7 and Raize 1.52

Is it possible to drag and drop a record structure?
for example:

   DIS_Item_def = Record
      Version: String;
      Alarm:   String;
      Action:  String;
      Times:   String;
   end;

I can build and fill the record before the drag but how do I load it into the DMTextSource and read it from the DBTextTarget?

Hi Steve,

I would look into encoding the record contents into something like JSON or XML and then put that into the DMTextSource. Then whatever receives the drop can then parse the payload and the reconstitute the record, or put it into some other construct (if dropping on an app that does not know about your record structure).
