IUIAutomationDragPattern::get_CurrentDropEffect method (uiautomationclient.h)
Retrieves a localized string that indicates what happens when the user drops this element as part of a drag-drop operation.
This property is read-only.
Syntax
HRESULT get_CurrentDropEffect(
BSTR *retVal
);
Parameters
retVal
Return value
None
Remarks
In the source-only style of Microsoft UI Automation drag-and-drop, no elements implement the DropTarget pattern. To find out what effect dropping the dragged element will have, a client can query the DropEffect property of the dragged element. This property can be a short string such as "move", or a longer one, such as "insert into Main group". The string is always localized.
