The only way I've found to do that (without HitTest) was setting the Node that should be moved with the left button, and "droping" it into the target Node with the Right button.

Yep, thats exactly what I intend to use drag and drop for. MS KB documents the bug where the Hittest routine returns an empty string instead of the defined NULL value, but it says nothing about this bug. The problem might be complicated by the fact that there are several versions of COMCTL32.OCX and each one seems to have different bugs (for example Image lists do weird things in a certain version).

I am using VFP 5.0a for this project. I might try VFP 3.0 and see if the same problem is present. The problem is that win32 is out of the question because I need it to return an actual NODE object and the ComCtrl32.dll hittest returns a node handle (which I don't know how to convert to an object). If anyone knows how to convert a Node handle to a node object let me know.

Anybody else seen this problem? and possibly know a work around?
