Description

The OBJECT SET DRAG AND DROP OPTIONS command sets or dynamically modifies the drag and drop options for the object(s) designated by the object and * parameters for the current process.

If you pass the optional * parameter, this indicates that the object parameter is an object name (a string). If you do not pass this parameter, this indicates that the object is a variable. In this case, you pass a variable reference instead of a string.

In each parameter, you pass a Boolean indicating whether the corresponding option is enabled or disabled:

  • draggable = True: Object draggable in programmed mode.
  • automaticDrag = True (only used with text fields and variables, combo boxes and list boxes): Object draggable in automatic mode.
  • droppable = True: Object accepts drops in programmed mode.
  • automaticDrop = True (only used with picture fields and variables, text, combo boxes and list boxes): Object accepts drops in automatic mode.

Example

Setting a text area to automatic drag and drop:

 OBJECT SET DRAG AND DROP OPTIONS(*;"Comments";False;True;False;True)
