Default behavior:

None

Parameters

  • dragvalue— value of the dragged object
  • dropformat—negotiated drop format
  • itemvalue—value of the (tree) item on which the drop occurs. If the drop occurs on a picture widget, the value will be "" (empty string).

For multiple drops:

  • numberofobjects—number of multiple objects being dropped
  • index—numeric index, starting with 1, of the object being dropped

Description

Tree and Picture widgets support drag and drop behavior using drag-and-drop formats, which are global objects that define the actions, pop-up menu, and cursor icons available when dragging or dropping objects in these widgets. For more information, see Drag and Drop Behavior for Tree and Picture Widgets.

The moveTo trigger is fired before moveFrom. Both moveFrom and moveTo are only fired if the drag source and drop target are in different widgets, otherwise moveWithin is used.

If the ProcScript in the trigger returns -1, the associated object is not dropped. If it returns -2, the drop action is aborted for all objects.
