You are correct. I have wondered why it was written like this. I suggest
you change the code like this ...

  -- First, tell the destination control.
  VOID = invokeHandler(id,          w32HDragAndDrop, {1, vDragData} )
  -- Secondly, tell the source control
  VOID = invokeHandler(vDragData[1], w32HDragAndDrop, {0, vDragData})

Or even better, if you want more control...

create a two new event names, say w32HSourceDD , and w32HTargetDD then

  -- First, tell the destination control.
  VOID = invokeHandler(id,          w32HTargetDD, vDragData )
  -- Secondly, tell the source control
  VOID = invokeHandler(vDragData[1], w32HSourceDD, vDragData)

I will do some fix for this soon (as I can find time)
