It is possible to programmatically reject an On Drag Over event for an object method.
The source object will be dragged and dropped on the destination object.
1. In the User mode, open the Form editor
2. Enable the On Drag Over and On Drop event for the destination object’s Property List
3. Open the Method editor for the destination object
a. To reject the drag, the object method must return -1 (minus one), so you write $0:=-1
b. To accept the drag, the destination object method must return 0 (zero), so you write $0:=0
If you reject the drag, the destination is not highlighted. If you accept the drag, the destination object is highlighted.
