Syntax

HDN_BEGINDRAG pNMHeader = (LPNMHEADER) lParam;

Parameters

pNMHeader

Pointer to an NMHEADER structure that contains data about the header item dragged

Return Values

To enable the header control to automatically manage drag-and-drop operations, return FALSE. If the owner of the control is manually performing drag-and-drop reordering, return TRUE.

Remarks

A header control defaults to automatically managing drag-and-drop reordering. Returning TRUE to indicate external (manual) drag-and-drop management enables the owner of the control to provide custom services as part of the drag-and-drop process.
