List box with file drop is a Delphi component which extends the standard listbox functionality by adding file drop capabilities. Whenever a file from Windows Explorer is dropped over this control, a notifying event is fired allowing the host program to act accordingly.
Class name of this control is: TListBoxWithFileDrop
TListBoxWithFileDrop is identical with TListBox with
exception of one new property:
AcceptFileDrop: boolean;
If AcceptFileDrop is set to True, and file from Windows Explorer is dragged and dropped over TListBoxWithFileDrop an event OnFileDrop is fired.
OnFileDrop event is defined as follows:
procedure OnFileDrop((Sender: TObject; FileName: string; X: integer; Y: integer);
