I noticed that the rich text control accepts the drops but I need access to
the text before it gets to the window. Even *with* a wxTextCtrl with the
wxTE_RICH style, as soon as you add a drop target of any kind to it, it will
no longer accept drops from IE.

between GTK and Windows.
wxPython's demo.py has examples of URLDragAndDrop.

Right. I think that's a bug. Simon Kittle was trying to manipulate the
clipboard text in his textRouter sample included with PythonCard and as soon
as we switched to wxTE_RICH it broke. Robin will have to answer this one.
On a related note, Vadim changed the meaning of wxTE_RICH in the wxWindows
cvs, so wxTE_RICH is going to mean RichEdit 1.0 and wxTE_RICH2 will be
RichEdit 2.0. In your code if you expect the behavior of the current
wxTE_RICH you should add something like I'm using in PythonCard.
try:
# if we're using a version of wxPython after 2.3.2.1
# try and use RichEdit2
richText = wx.wxTE_RICH2
except:
richText = wx.wxTE_RICH
Then pass richText as one of your style elements when you initialize the
wxTextCtrl.
