Changing image when dragging

[Nordlund]

Hi.
I'm trying to perform professional drag and drop, but I have runned into problems.

I have managed to use images instead of cursors when dragging, but I want to be able to change the dragging image on the fly... If I pass a forbidden panel, i want to show a stop sign, but when I pass a dropable panel I want to show a greenlight instead.

How do I proceed.
(I used this page for base of my dragging:

I think that the solution is already given in that link?

see chapter "VCL Custom Drag Images"

I read this chapter, but what I can see it does only cover the on-the-fly changes with use of Cursor, not Images (TBitmap).

I'll read it deeper again now...

The overridden function GetDragImages which sets the image fires only on "OnStartDrag", not on "OnDragOver"
