Hi Mirek,
First forgive me if i put at wrong forum
I looked at Ultimate++ source and found VectorDes code, and has DragDropCtrl.
My Questions are:
1. What is this VectorDes? Is this compileable? Found error while compiling around VectorObj.h
2. Is DragDropCtrl a Drag N Drop implementation for example dropping some files to window?

Not sure in what U++ version you have found it
VectorDes is abandoned piece of code. If it is still in U++ major release, it is a bug in release system.
It was intended as complement to RichEdit to design vector images. Maybe later we will reintroduce it in some better form.
AFAIK DragDropCtrl works within single application only.
I believe that for dropping files from windows manager to your application you do not need anything complicated, just override WindowProc and implement message handlers.
When I first saw Ultimate++ I 'discovered' VectorDes and wondered why it wasn't publicized on the site, I didn't thought that many others had such a feature. I'm a little sad about its disappear.
Anyway, I found a little strange that the editor is separated form laydes. In the future could you consider joining them? It could be a nice way to design eyecandy (and light) applications.

In it there are references to TDraw and TCtrlLib (do a find in files on the uppsrc dir) which look like dev branches that are incomplete and refer to DragDropCtrl. I checked nightly build 6532 and the DragDropCtrl the references are in that as well.
Your code is art Mirek, thanks for all the hard work!
