- AsyncTransferSource
- This application demonstrates how to transfer data asyncronously via a stream.
- The application uses a TDropEmptySource component and extends it with a
- TDataFormatAdapter component.
- While the drag/drop operation takes place in the main thread as always, the
- actual data transfer is performed in a separate thread. The advantage of using a
- thread is that the source application isn't blocked while the target application
- processes the drop.
- Note that this approach is normally only used when transferring large amounts of
- data (e.g. file contents) or when the drop target is very slow.
