To drag and drop a file or folder, click it with your left mouse button, then, without releasing the button, drag it to the desired location and release the mouse button to drop it. Refer to your Windows help for more information if you haven't used drag and drop.
Techopedia Explains Drag And Drop In order to perform this action, the user must highlight the text or select the object to be moved, then press and hold down the left mouse button to grab the object. The user then drags the object to the desired location, while still holding down the mouse button.
To copy or move documents using the drag and drop method, follow these steps. In the Folders window, navigate to and select the document you wish to copy or move. Click and hold the left mouse button while you drag the document to the destination folder or drawer in the Folders window. Release the mouse button.
In pure C/C++ on Windows, start reading about the DragAcceptFiles function and the WM_DROPFILES message. If you're using a more powerful C++ library (Qt, Wx, etc) check their respective documentation. It would help to know what you use, more specifically.
