Hi there,

I know that DnD is new last year but there is no documentation on it and I really don't understand how it is supposed to work from just looking at the code.

Could we perhaps have an example of how to drop a bunch of files into a Ctrl or TopWindow and to then retrieve their paths as Strings. I have tried to implement this for my app but I don't appear to have any events to callback from and I get a big no entry cursor when dragging files from explorer over the TopWindow.

EDIT: ah ok I think I get it. Drag and Drop is only available to and from the same type of control right? So dropping in files from out side the app would not be supported just yet correct?
