Looking at file and shortcut properties from drag and drop

Hope somebody could point me in the right direction.
1. I want to be able to drag and drop a file or a shortcut from a folder
(from outside the app) and drop it on the apps form.
2. From this I need to examine said file or shortcuts properties.

point 1 is the particularly tricky bit.
point 2 I think I might be ok with (although not sure if examining a
shortcuts properties would be the same as a file)

Thx,
Br,
Mark.
