Hello,

Does GLFW have the support of full-fledged Drag & Drop ? For example, I need to register own data format.

Can I use GLFW as shared library in my application ? For example, in case with wxWidgets I can’t copy library of wxWidgets in folder with my application - it is necessary to install wxWidgets. It is big problem for me.

Hi @OdinKG,

Welcome to the GLFW forum.

> Does GLFW have the support of full-fledged Drag & Drop ? For example, I need to register own data format.

GLFW supports drag and drop for [Clipboard strings and Paths](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/input_guide.html#clipboard).

> Can I use GLFW as shared library in my application ? For example, in case with wxWidgets I can’t copy library of wxWidgets in folder with my application - it is necessary to install wxWidgets. It is big problem for me.

You can use GLFW as a shared library, see the [documentation on building applications with GLFW](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/build_guide.html). You do not need to install GLFW to do so.

I would expect you can also build and use wxWidgets as a shared application without installation.
