There were no components for Delphi to handle an OLE URL drop, so here is a new one :)

This component will accept a URL from Netscape or Internet Explorer via OLE and
give you the URL value to do whatever you like with.  

These components are free and you can even purchase the source cheaply if you
want to expand your application with it. Please leave this file inside if you
redistribute the zip package.

Just put a TDropURL component on your form, set it to apply to any WinControl and
the OnDropURL event will fire w/ the URL text any time a URL is dropped.  All OLE matters
are 'black boxed' within the component.

Easy implementation, no code at all needed.
