What platforms are you targeting, and what version of fltk? FWIW, the DnD support in fltk needs to be a "lowest common denominator" solution so that it works OK across multiple platforms. What this means is that the drop payload is pretty much always treated as being just a text string, but the various types of meta-data that the different hosts systems support are not readily accessible. So you can fill that payload with the pathname of your file (as a text string) but you may not be able to set whatever attributes the host system provides to say "this is a reference to a file, not just a string of text" unless you use platform specific coding. Now, it may be that just passing the path and filename is adequate for your needs? I do not know. What are you trying to do? Have you looked at the howto-drag-and-drop.cxx example in the fltk-1.3 examples folder, it shows how to get started with this, though probably does not go far enough for your needs, I guess?
