Hi,
   my question is:
when I click on an object ( in my case, an image ) and I drop it into a container, I will see cursor with "+" element, that it will be wx.DragCopy

How can I substitute it with a small image? When I right-click down and motion it into another object, I want see a small image in place of wx.DragCopy object ( "+" ).

There are two approaches to try. First you can specify an icon or a cursor (depending on platform) when you create the wx.DropSource object. Second you can derive a class from wx.DropSource and override the GiveFeedback method. In that method you can do whatever you like, such as draw a small image on the screen near the current location of the mouse cursor.
