Drag Ended Event

Requires: Base Development System

Type: Notify

Generated after a drag and drop operation completes.

This event occurs after a drop operation, after the user cancels the drag and drop operation by pressing the <Esc> key, or the drag source window loses focus. You can use this event in conjunction with other control events to implement custom drag-and-drop behavior. Use this event to implement Drag Moving or to provide notification when a drag and drop operation is completed. If you move data during a drag and do not copy it as well, you should delete the source data in the Drag Ended event.
