Dragging from TaskPanel into Calendar

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   So I want to be able to drag a task panel item into the calendar and drop it, thereby adding an event to the calendar. 

I will naturally want the calendar to interrogate whatever is dropped to get data from it, etc. 

I am already able to trap COleDropTarget::OnDrop() calls in the calendar and sort out the CLIPFORMAT. 

What I need to know is:
How do I pass a pointer of data from the task panel (that is, one item) to the OnDrop() handler?

When I get a STGMEDIUM struct populated with an HGLOBAL, what does the HGLOBAL point to, if my drag started in a task panel? 
Thanks

Eric
