Softel vdm, Inc.

The tree control's OLEDrag method has been invoked.

Syntax       

VB.NET

Private Sub object_OLEStartDrag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgumentType) Handles object.OLEStartDrag

VB

Private Sub object_OLEStartDrag(Data As DataObject, AllowedEffects As Long)

C#.NET

void object_OLEStartDrag(object sender, EventArgumentType e);

VC++

void OnOLEStartDragobject(struct IVDMDataObject** Data, long* AllowedEffects);

C

HRESULT OnOLEStartDragobject(struct IVDMDataObject** Data, long* AllowedEffects);

Delphi

procedure objectOLEStartDrag(Sender: TObject; var Data : IVDMDataObject; var AllowedEffects : Integer);

object

A SftTree object.

Data

A DataObject object used to define formats that the source provides and optionally, the data for those formats.  If no data is contained in the DataObject Data, it is provided when the target control calls the DataObject.GetData method and you should provide the values for the Data parameter.

AllowedEffects

Defines the effects that the source component supports.  The source component should logically Or together the supported values and place the result in the AllowedEffects parameter.  The target component can use this value to determine the appropriate action, and what the appropriate user feedback should be.

Effect

Value

Description

vbDropEffectNone

0

Drop target cannot accept the data.

vbDropEffectCopy

1

Drop results in a copy of data from the source to the target.  The original data is unaltered by the drag operation.

vbDropEffectMove

2

Drop results in data being moved from the drag source to the drop source.  The drag source should remove the data from itself after the move.

Note: Only Visual Basic offers the predefined constants vbDropEffectNone, etc.  When using other languages, the constants have to be defined explicitly by the application.

Comments

The OLEStartDrag event occurs when the tree control's OLEDrag method has been invoked.

This event specifies the data formats and drop effects that the source component supports.  It can also be used to insert data into the DataObject object.

You may want to defer placing data into the DataObject object until the target component requests it.  This allows the source component to save time by not loading multiple data formats.  When the target performs the DataObject.GetData method on the DataObject, the source's OLESetData event will occur if the requested data is not contained in the DataObject.  At this point, the data can be loaded into the DataObject, which will in turn provide the data to the target.

If the user does not load any formats into the DataObject, then the drag/drop operation is cancelled.
