I want to develop an application which generates a random, three part code using three colours. These colours can be repeated during the sequence. The main point im struggling with is that i want the user to drag and drop the colours into a guess sequence.

This is basically the main features of the program and i wondered if you can give me some feedback on how to code it.

I decided to start with the drag-drop part just to see how simple it could be accomplished.  Even I was surprised by the answer - only two lines of code to accomplish the "guess" part of the above program description!

Here they are:

1. In a OnDragOver event exit for the target spaces, we need to set "Accept := true;" to tell the systems that it is OK to drop the color here.
2. In the OnDragDrop event exit we must set the target's color to the dragged object's color.  In our case, we are dragging one of several colored  TShapes to  a target TShape so the 2nd line of code is "Tshape(sender).brush.color := Tshape(source).brush.Color;"

The other key step is change DragMode property of the objects to be dragged from dmManual to dmAutomatic.

That's it.
