Cannot drag files to explorer #7

It is not possible to drag a file e.g. from a task pane into the explorer. Droping into ClipSpy (http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/168/ClipSpy) shows, that there is no HDROP information available in the clipboard. Just some private Java information is available. Maybe it happens because the task pane’s parent window belongs to the Outlook.exe process and not to the Java application. If so, it would be a constraint for JOA applications and a workaround had to be found, to provide D&D functionality. At the first glance, it doesn’t seem to be a simple problem. I will need some time to find a solution.
