| Types | The types you want to accept for the window. This can be Cocoa native type specifications or some special types: "images" for all image types, "movies" for movie types, "file" for files, "URL" for URLs, "Email" for emails and "text" for text. If you use more than one type, separate them with comma. | "images" |
Result
Returns "OK" on success.
Description
Defines what file types should be accepted for drag and drop for this window.Call this function for each window where you want to define drag types. As Filemaker defines some types by itself, you don't need to call this method for every type.
Version 2.7 adds "Emails" as type. You can receive Email drops from Apple Mail this way. The functions DragDrop.GetEmailCount, DragDrop.GetEmailID, DragDrop.GetEmailMailbox, DragDrop.GetEmailAccount and DragDrop.GetEmailSubject give you the details on received emails. GetURL gives URL of email if you received only one.
Examples
Registers for file drop for the current window:
MBS( "DragDrop.RegisterDropTypes"; $droparea; "file")
Feedback: Report problem or ask question.
