      Files: TStrings; var FileAction: TRVDropFileAction;

(introduced in v1.8)

rvddFiles must be included in AcceptDragDropFormats property, otherwise the editor will not accept files.

Input parameters:

Files – list of names of dropped files.

FileAction = rvdfNone.

DoDefault = True.

Output parameters:

FileAction – operation that you have performed with these files:

▪rvdfNone – nothing,

▪rvdfInsert – the files were inserted,

▪rvdfLink – hyperlinks to the files were inserted.

FileAction is ignored if DoDefault is set to True.

DoDefault – set it to False if you have processed the files yourself in this event. By default, RichViewEdit inserts graphic files, *.RTF, *.RVF, *.TXT.

See the example (how to insert files of all formats supported by Microsoft Office text import converters).
