DragAuto

Applies to

Draggable controls

Description

The DragAuto property determines whether PowerBuilder puts the control into drag mode automatically. If the property is enabled, when the user clicks the control and starts dragging it, PowerBuilder puts the control in drag mode. Clicking the control triggers a DragDrop event, not a Clicked event.

If DragAuto is not enabled, then when the user clicks the control, PowerBuilder does not put the control in drag mode. You have to call the Drag function to put the control into drag mode.

Usage

In a painter

To set DragAuto:

  • Select the DragAuto check box on the Other tab page of the control's Properties view.

In scripts

Most controls have a DragAuto property. It takes a boolean value. The following example sets drag mode for a CommandButton.

cb_1.DragAuto = TRUE
