Keith, Sorry but I do not really have code that will help you. My code works with either a selection listbox as source (creates a set), or expects a file/folder from the OS
However, roughly what you need to do: Note: my memory of this is foggy…and I am guessing a bit here Since you are using an array listbox as source, as I recall you need to us the on Begin Drag over event to capture the row(s) being dragged and place them on the pasteboard. Using: APPEND DATA TO PASTEBOARD <https://docs.4d.com/4Dv18/4D/18/APPEND-DATA-TO-PASTEBOARD.301-4505401.en.html> NOTE: As I recall you can create your own data type and then catch it on the drop side On the drop side Using: GET PASTEBOARD DATA TYPE <https://docs.4d.com/4Dv18/4D/18/GET-PASTEBOARD-DATA-TYPE.301-4505393.en.html> You can determine the type of the data on the pasteboard and then using GET PASTEBOARD DATA <https://docs.4d.com/4Dv18/4D/18/GET-PASTEBOARD-DATA.301-4505396.en.html> You can retrieve the data, and process it. Depending on how you are handling the retrieving of the data on the drop side. You might also need to use: Pasteboard data size <https://docs.4d.com/4Dv18/4D/18/Pasteboard-data-size.301-4505395.en.html> I’m sorry but it has been a while since I wrote that code, and I cannot find the source at the moment. But as I recall this is basically what I did except with a set (since I was working with a section listbox as source). I hope this helps!
