Drag&Drop between ShellBrowser and Delphi controls

Question / Problem

How can I use Drag&Drop between the ShellBrowser Components and Delphi's TListView / TListBox?

Answer / Solution

OLE Drag-and-Drop is a special way to transfer Shell data using Drag-and-Drop.

It is implemented in most ShellBrowser components and enables interaction with applications supporting this as well, like Windows File Explorer, Word, etc.

Standard VCL components do not support this out of the box, but you can enable them by using a TJamDropFiles or TJamDragFiles as  mediator.
