Just to be clear, the current textual data restriction in fpGUI's DND
is simply because I haven't had time to implement the binary data
support yet. So far, I have only implemented what was needed for our
new project. In the near future, I'll complete the whole DND
implementation (binary data, byte arrays, TStream and more auto-type
conversions between mime and each OS specific formats).
