Which is exactly what I need (I think).

Because I drag an object form another application,

the cursor in TRV isn't visible.

So there's nothing meaningfull I can do during DragOver.

The only action I take is on DragDrop,

then I position the cursor and insert the object (and have to make sure

the cursor is in the right position at that moment, so therefor:

SendMessage)
