Purpose

.DropItemLimit enables you to define the number of strings that can be dropped onto the Static Icon in a Drag and Drop operation. It forms part of the criteria that must be met for a drop to be permitted by the Open Client.

Syntax

Setting:          ObjectReference.DropItemLimit = Value

Retrieving:       Variable = ObjectReference.DropItemLimit
 

Operation

ObjectReference is the Tag Name of the object
Value is a numeric limited to 999
Variable is a numeric variable
 

Remarks

When you perform a drag from a Static Icon to another Static Icon, the target Static Icon must have a DropItemLimit greater than 0, otherwise the drop is prevented by Open Client.

Similarly, when you drag from a Static Icon onto an Aurora object, target Static Icon must have the DropItemLimit set to >= the number of strings in the payload for the drop to occur. 

Example

To allow 5 strings to dropped onto the Static Icon with a Tag Name of StaticIconTag:

StaticIconTag.DropItemLimit = ‘5'
