const
cnMaxFileNameLen = 255;
var
i, nCount : integer;
acFileName : array [0..cnMaxFileNameLen] of char;
begin
nCount := DragQueryFile( msg.WParam,$FFFFFFFF,acFileName,cnMaxFileNameLen );
for i := 0 to nCount-1 do
begin
DragQueryFile( msg.WParam, i,
acFileName, cnMaxFileNameLen );
MessageBox( Handle, acFileName, '', MB_OK );
end;
DragFinish( msg.WParam );
