TPJDropFiles
Project: Drop Files Components.
Unit: PJDropFiles.
This component provides a window which can accept files dragged and dropped from Windows Explorer (the component handles WM_DROPFILES messages to do this). This control can contain child components (in a similar way to TPanel components). Files dropped over any such child component are also accepted by the parent TPJDropFiles component.
The main use for TPJDropFiles is when you need to detect file drops on non-windowed components such as TLabel or TShape. To do this drop a TPJDropFiles on a form and then place the required non-windowed control on top of the TPJDropFiles, aligning and sizing both components as required.
