Drag & drop properties
Define a format to be used for Drag & Drop.
The name of a Drag & Drop format (max. 16 characters), which can be used in the widget properties DRAGFORMAT and DROPFORMAT.
Enter the language code for the popup menu texts that you are defining.
Example: NL = Netherlands
A description that you can use for information and retrieval purposes.
The description can be a maximum of 25 characters.
You can enter retrieve profile characters to retrieve the object, because this field is a fixed-length field.
In the radiogroup, indicate which of the 3 actions "Move", "Copy" or "Create Shortcut" is the default drop action for this format.
The drop action will be shown in bold when a popup menu is shown (with right-mouse dragging).
Use the checkboxes to define which drop actions are allowed.
At least one checkbox must be checked.
Use the editboxes to define the texts for the popup menu, which will be shown with right-mouse dragging.
Define a mouse pointer icon to give visual feedback in which format an object will be dropped on a drop target.
You should define a secondary glyph with white pixels at the places where you want the cursor to shine through.
Enter any comments that should be associated with the format.
