Hi again 
Right a few (hopefully simple) questions in regard to drag drop.
What i want to do is drag an item from a list view on a panel. On the item being dropped the text in the item (which refers to a table) is taken and used to create an ERD item control.
Now I have this working, however I cant find the mouse position in regards to the panel! When I drop the item onto the panel, its meant to create the control at the point, but its missing by a mile and ive discovered the x and y properties from the dragevent is around the whole programs 0,0!
So my first questions is.... how can i find out the proper place to draw the item... is there a way to find the mouses position on the panel and not the whole program in the dragdrop event?
My second question.... dragdropeffect -> does this only affect the icon and nothing else, or is there some more stuff being run in the background that should affect which one i chose?
Thanks
