I have a proprietary application with the only way to pass data externally – drag and drop from other application (like dragging a file from Windows explorer). My question is, is it possible to simulate drag’n’drop from external applicaiton? Pure win32 solution preferred, dependencies like MFC and WTL could be included too.

    I think it is possible, but you will probably need COM for that (I’m not sure though – there is a WM_DROPFILES message, and some related functions, but I couldn’t find one for dropping data). See this article on MSDN.
