DrgFreeDraginfo

This function frees a DRAGINFO structure allocated by DrgAllocDraginfo.

Syntax

DrgFreeDraginfo(pdinfo)

Parameters

pdinfo (PDRAGINFO) - input

Pointer to the DRAGINFO structure.

Returns

rc (BOOL) - returns

Success indicator.

TRUE - Successful completion.

FALSE - Error occurred.

Remarks

DrgFreeDraginfo fails with an error of PMERR_SOURCE_SAME_AS_TARGET if it is called by the process that called DrgDrag before DrgDrag returns. When a process is performing a drag operation between two of its own windows, this prevents the source window from freeing the DRAGINFO structure before the target window finishes processing.

Errors

Possible returns from WinGetLastError:

PMERR_MEMORY_DEALLOCATION_ERR (0x1113)

An error occurred during memory management.

PMERR_SOURCE_SAME_AS_TARGET (0x1502)

The direct manipulation source and target process are the same.
