Description

Attaches a new drop area to the window.
This disables FileMaker's drop handler and installs the plugin one to the window.
You can't assign a picture or change position on Windows.

On MacOS calls DragDrop.CreateWithWindow internally.
You may need to release via DragDrop.Release later, especially when switching layouts.

# SetupDrop attach in file DragTest drag

# let FileMaker build the layout
Pause/Resume Script [ Duration (seconds): ,1 ]
# now add our control
