Syntax:

DragSetData (data content, data format, user defined format)

Parameters:

data content – A string value that represents the actual data to set. This data is stored in a Windows buffer, which is accessible by whatever Windows application receives the dropped data.

data format – A numeric value that represents the format of the data stored by the operating system. The following numeric values are:

0 – User-defined format

1 – Text

2 – OEM Text

3 – Rich Text

4 – HTML

5 – Hyperlink

6 – File name and path

7 – Unicode

user-defined format – An optional string parameter that names a user-defined format. This parameter is required when the data format parameter is set to 0 but is not relevant for other data formats.

Returns:

True only when evaluated within the scope of an active Drag Begin event.

Examples:

DragSetData ('ABC', 1) results in displaying the 'ABC' string as the actual Text format drag operation data and defines the text format as the default.

Note:

The DragSetData function can be performed several times to define data for different types of formats. Each data format can only be set once with data in a single drag operation. If the function is evaluated twice for the same data format within the same drag operation, only the last evaluation will be applied.
