Hi,
I want to implement file drag and drop into my application.

I've been looking with google, through borland,
through this newsgroup, without success.

In this instance, I only want to open files.
I saw some advice concerning OLE drag & drop,
but I don't think I need this
(I'll let experts advise me if this is a bad decision)
so I am trying to handle  WM_DROPFILES
in my code.

I've been looking through the win32 help file at
DragAcceptFiles, DragFinish, DragQueryFile,
and WM_DROPFILES

The only example I've found was off borland,
for delphi.
it handles the WM_DROPFILES message
in the header with

  procedure WMDROPFILES(var Message: TWMDROPFILES);
  message WM_DROPFILES;

in the header.
what do  have to do to get this working?
