The easiest way I've done this in the past is to have a transparent path control that takes up the whole front panel which is hidden.  Then you look for the value change event on that path control which will indicate a drop took place.  Here is a post with an example of this working. 

If you are looking to open a file type when double clicked in explorer, then you will need a second EXE to get called, and it can decide what to do.  Like maybe open another instance, or detect if it is already running, and open it in that.  I know this post is old but it is what I used to understand what was needed.  Since then I've started using InnoSetup installers, and you can setup file association there as part of the install process.
