Source (filter, event)
A Source component is a filter, used for drag-and-drop actions.
It generates an event on an uncancelled upclick. A typical
event-handler will then inquire the ActiveTarget
property to determine
whether the Source is over a Target and take some action if it
is. For example, a source-icon representing a file might
delete the file when it is dragged and released over a
target-icon representing a ``trash can.'' A tiling window
manager might make every window both a Source and Target to
permit windows to be exchanged.
- ActiveTarget G
- (Text) The name of the component
over which the Source is located. This property is ignored
when the Source is defined; it only has a value while the
callback associated with the Source
is active. The call to FormsVBT.GetTextProperty raises
an Error exception if the Source is not over a valid
Target on an uncancelled upclick or if the Target does
not have a name.
- Behavior
- If the Source is located over a
Target when the mouse-button is down, the Source's hit
method is called.
