DndSource (Property)

In french: DndSource

Some controls of WINDEV and WEBDEV can manage drag-and-drop operations automatically: simply check the corresponding option in the "Details" tab of the control description. A control can be defined as source or target of a drag-and-drop operation.

Drag-and-drop operations are automatically available:

for Edit, List Box, ListView and TreeView controls.
The automatic Drag and Drop mode is also available for tokens in a "Text token" Edit control.
for Upload, Static, Button, Link, Image, formatted text, List Box and Combo Box controls.

In a drag-and-drop operations set programmatically, the DndSource and DndTarget properties are used to define the Drag and Drop source and target controls.

The DndSource property determines how a control behaves in a drag-and-drop operation (Edit control, List Box, ListView, Looper, TreeView, etc.). This control will be set as the source object of the drag-and-drop operation.

Example

// -- Initialization of LIST_Source
// LIST_Source is not a target
LIST_Source.DndSource = dndInactive

// -- Initialization of LIST_Target
LIST_Target.DndTarget = dndProgram
DnDEvent("Drop", "LIST_Target", dndDrop)
DnDEvent("DragOver", "LIST_Target", dndDragOver)
