In general this it is not possible. Drag+Drop is implemented on top of
COM/RPC and these protocols provide no method to obtain the source of an
operation. If you are trying to detect if it is one of *your* applications
at the source, then simply get it to supply a special clipboard-format (such
as a DWORD which holds the process-id) in the IDataObject so that the target
can check for the existance of this format and then query the
source-application this way.
