The drop files event will be invoked when the user drops one or multiple dragged files on one of application's forms.
First this event should be fired for target form (or main form if drop target is unknown), then for the application.
Possible implementation for LCL
TDropFilesEvent = procedure (Sender: TObject; const FileNames: Array of String) of Object;
Add OnDropFiles: TDropFilesEvent to TCustomForm, TApplication and TApplicationProperties. Each form will have property AllowDropFiles: Boolean, which enables this event.
Possible implementation per widgetsets
The widgetsets should call method IntfDropFiles of target form (or main form if drop target is unknown) and the application.
Win32/64
