Example: Using OnDropFiles to accept files of different formats

By default, TRichViewEdit accepts the following types of dropped files:

This example shows how to use OnDropFiles event to insert all these types of files, and all file formats supported by installed Microsoft Office text import converters.

This example assumes that RVOfficeConverter1:TRVOfficeConverter is placed on the form.
