Parameters

none

Result

Returns current value 0 or 1 or an error.

Description

Queries drag and drop preference.
This function queries the preference setting from FileMaker (or Runtime) about allowing text selection by drag and drop.
Due to the way the preferences work, we can read the value which the setting has, but we can only set the value for the next launch of the application.
