Question

It seems to me there is no way to detect whether a drag operation was successful or not, but there must be some way. Suppose that I want to perform a ‘move’ from the source to the destination. If the user releases the mouse over some app or control that cannot accept the drop, how can I tell?

For that matter, how can I tell when the drag is completed at all?

I saw this question, but his solution does not work for me, and e.Action is always Continue.

Answer 1

I’m not sure if that can help you, but DoDragDrop method returns final DragDropEffects value.

var ret = DoDragDrop( ... ); if(ret == DragDropEffects.None) //not successfull else // etc.
