Re: Drag and Drop support
Ranorex 2.X as well as Ranorex 1.5 support drag & drop operations in every application, consequently also in Outlook 2003/2007.
You can easily check that by recording a drag & drop operation with Ranorex Recorder. The recorder should replay the operation just fine and should also generated code for you.

Re: Drag and Drop support
I'm trying to Drag and Drop an email from Outlook 2010 inbox , to another Outlook folder.
But the item is not getting moved to the destination.
Strangely , if I move the mouse a bit(manually) when the code is executing, the action completes successfully.
Even the recorder shows the same problem.
Below is the snippet

FormMicrosoftOutlook.Element4704.Click("X;Y");

Mouse.ButtonDown(MouseButtons.Left);

Mouse.MoveTo(trNode.Element);
Mouse.ButtonUp(MouseButtons.Left);

Re: Drag and Drop support
I have Ranorex 2.1.2 , but GDI capture works only with works with version 2.3.4 and higher.
Surely, I did try GDI first with 2.1.2 (just in case I get lucky) – Did not work
Then I downloaded Ranorex trial version 2.3.5 , added the GDI pluggin.
But Outlook 2010 crashes when I try to use Ranorex Spy or recorder on the same.
