Description

Use the fullDragData to gain access to the system drag-and-drop clipboard.

If the contents of the drag-and-drop clipboard were placed there by another app, the clipboard will be automatically cleared when written to. If you want to do this explicitly, use set the fullDragData to empty.

The text, rtftext, htmltext, styles and styledtext properties are handled specially by LiveCode: adding any one of them will cause the rest to be automatically generated and added.

If you require lower-level access to the drag-and-drop clipboard, see the rawDragData property.
