DragDrop Visuals Sample
================================
Demonstrates how to use the shell drag drop services to get the presentation features that shell drag drop supports for both targets and sources. 

This includes:
 1) drop targets rendering the drag image
 2) drop target provided drop tips
 3) drag source populating the drag image information when using a custom data object
 4) drag source enable drop tips
 5) use the shell provided IDropSource implementation by calling SHDoDragDrop(). This handles many of the edge cases for you dealing with different types of targets
