Note:
QT adds more to the drag.data separated by CR \r so needs cleaning up..
I used *Print Quote(Drag.Data)*  to discover exactly what text QT was
giving me and found it gave \r chars.

So to clean up the data, remove the 'file://' part and be compatible with
gtk and qt webview use something like this...


*Public Sub WebView1_Drop()  Dim sTrimmed As String = Replace(Drag.Data,
"file://", "")  *' remove 'file://'
*  Dim iPos As Integer = InStr(sTrimmed, "\r")   *' look for carriage return
*  If iPos Then sTrimmed = Mid(sTrimmed, 1, iPos - 1) * ' get text left of
first \r if one exists (QT)



*  Print "'"; sTrimmed; "'"End*
Hope that helps
