Open Client Only

This section enables the Drag and Drop functionality for the Static Icon. The object can be both Drag and Drop enabled and therefore be dragged onto an object or have data dropped on it.

Drag Enabled

Select the check box to make the Static Icon available for dragging. For more information about Drag and Drop functionality, click here.

If the check box is enabled, the Drag Type field and the Drop Enabled check box is enabled.

Drag Type

Enter the type of data that can be dragged from an object. This is user-defined string.

A10

Drop Data Variable

Enter the Scratch Variable that is used to hold the drop data. This can be an array or a string.

Currently PROIV does not support the usage of Drop Data Variable as a subscripted array.

Drop Enabled

Select the check box to make the Static Icon available for data being dropped on to it. For more information about Drag and Drop functionality, click here.

If the check box is enabled, the Drag Type Allowed field, Drop Data Variable field and the Drop Item Limit check box is enabled.

Drag Type Allowed

Enter the type of data that can be dropped onto an object. This is user-defined string and the data is validated to ensure it matches Drag Type. If it does not match, the drop does not occur.

Drop Item Limit

Enter the number of items that can be dropped onto the Static Icon. Note that if you are dragging and dropping within a PROIV Session, the limit defaults to 1.

 

Note: Fields that are not applicable to specific object are disabled. The properties can also be set on the Object Properties Grid. Click here for more information.
