Identifying the dragged control

To identify the type of control that was dropped, use the
source argument of the DragDrop event.

This script for the DragDrop event in a picture declares two
variables, then determines the type of object that was dropped:

CommandButton lcb_button

1	CommandButton lcb_button

StaticText lst_info

1	StaticText lst_info

IF source.TypeOf() = CommandButton! THEN

1	IF source.TypeOf() = CommandButton! THEN

		lcb_button = source

1	lcb_button = source

		lcb_button.Text = "You dropped a Button!"

1	lcb_button.Text = "You dropped a Button!"

ELSEIF source.TypeOf() = StaticText! THEN

1	ELSEIF source.TypeOf() = StaticText! THEN

		lst_info = source

1	lst_info = source

		lst_info.Text = "You dropped the text!"

1	lst_info.Text = "You dropped the text!"

END IF<i></i>

1	END IF<i></i>

Using CHOOSE CASE If your window has a large number of controls that can be
dropped, use a CHOOSE CASE statement.
