Description

#11728 improved drag and drop for several apps, including WhatsApp, but we know that drag and drop still does not work for some apps (Notepad, XShell, etc.).
Also, #11728 doesn't improved it for virtual files that do not exist on the file system, such as files in archives.

Steps To Reproduce

(Same as #10171)

  1. open xshell and files app
  2. drag a file to xshell

Requirements

Drag and drop should work for all apps and all files, including virtual files.

Programs to fix

  • Notepad
  • Notepad ++
  • Xshell
  • Coral DAW
  • Coral Video Studio
  • Phone link
  • Microsoft Visio
  • FL studios
  • Adobe Lightroom Classic

Files Version

2.4.52.0

Windows Version

10.0.22621.1413

Can confirm it won't work with Notepad++ either.

Clipboard WinRT class probably generates incompatible format with some apps or we're doing in a wrong way.
Like the author of #12784, we probably might want to use Win32 drag APIs for this as almost all of them listed are Win32 apps probably in IWindowsClipboardService unless we found we were doing in a wrong way. Here's the overview MSDN.
