There seems to be another issue.
For your specific task of writing the file contents into the textarea.
It seems we cannot override/intercept or turn off the way a textarea pastes
the file name on drop.
I tried using text/uri-list as format, still just the filename is pasted
not the contents.

I even tried setting TextArea1.Drop = False , still it pastes filename in!?
You can make a Button (or something) with Drop enabled, then drag
filechooser files there and the load file into TextArea but using
TextArea_Drop() does nothing at all. still only default behaviour.





*Public Sub Button1_Drop()Dim s As String = Drag.DataIf Not s Then s =
Drag.Paste("text/uri-list") If Exist(s) Then TextArea1.Text =
File.Load(s)End*

TextArea1_Drop() event does not even trigger.
