It's not possible to enable this effect without a real d&d.

The best way is using real OLE drag&drop instead of VCL drag&drop

(OnDragOver, OnDragDrop, etc.).

You need to implement a source for text d&d. I recommend to use Drag and

Drop Component Suite (free) for this task:

http://www.torry.net/vcl/system/draganddrop/dragdrop.exe, see

TDropTextSource component.

You will be able to drop this text not only in TRichViewEdit, but even in

another applications which accept text drag&drop. And it does not require

any tricks.
