Remarks
You can handle the HTMLScriptEvents::ondragenter event on the source or on the target object. Of the target events, it is the first to fire during a drag operation. Target events use the IHTMLDataTransfer::getData method to stipulate which data and data formats to retrieve. The list of drag-and-drop target events includes:
- HTMLScriptEvents::onbeforepaste
- HTMLScriptEvents::onpaste
- HTMLScriptEvents::ondragenter
- HTMLScriptEvents::ondragover
- HTMLScriptEvents::ondragleave
- HTMLScriptEvents::ondrop
When scripting custom functionality, use the IHTMLEventObj::returnValue property to disable the default action.
Calls the associated event handler.
To invoke this event, do one of the following:
- Drag the selection over a valid drop target within the client.
- Drag the selection to a valid drop target within another window.
