There is no Drag and Drop events in the .NET RichTextBox
Control, however, if I simply add these events with the
correct syntax, it seems to work fine. What is going on
here? I would have thought that I could have implemented
some kind of interface to make it work.... Does the
compiler simply create events for anything that has proper
syntax regardles of whether the control supports that
event ?.. Could use some clarity.

Hi, Richard

The RichTextBox control could not handle the event if it were not already
there. A CommandButton has a GiveFeedback event, but you get an error if
you try to create a handler for one with a RichTextBox. My understanding
is that the events are there in the control but were not exposed in the IDE
for some reason.

Hi, Richard

I just heard back that the reason that the visible links for DragDrop were
removed because the developers could not get it working with supportable
reliability. They left the hooks in the code so that developers could
still work with the events.

I hope this clarifies things for you.,
