Type

message

Summary

Sent when the user moves the mouse during a drag and drop.

Syntax

dragMove

Description

Handle the dragMove message if you want to perform some action (such as updating a status display) when the user moves the mouse while dragging, or if you want to keep continuous track of the mouse pointer's position during a drag and drop.

The dragMove message is sent to the control the mouse pointer is over, or to the card if no control is under the mouse pointer.

Examples

on dragMove -- in a field script
    -- set the cursor so it shows you can only drop onto a link
    if the textStyle of the mouseChunk contains "link"
    then set the cursor to the ID of image "Drop Here"
    else set the cursor to the ID of image "Dont Drop"
end dragMove
