It seems complex, but it is not. Pseudocode would look like this:
In sourcce object:
: (Form event code=On Begin Drag Over)
C_BLOB($x)
CLEAR PASTEBOARD
... pack data you want to move to $x
APPEND DATA TO PASTEBOARD("my.unique.signature";$x)
: (Form event code=On Drag Over)
GET PASTEBOARD DATA TYPE($signatures;$nativeTypes;$formatNames)
If (Find in array($nativeTypes;"my.unique.signature")#-1)
$0:=0 //The drop is accepted
Else
$0:=-1 //The drag is refused
End if
In target object:
: (Form event code=On Drop)
GET PASTEBOARD DATA TYPE($signatures;$nativeTypes;$formatNames)
If (Find in
array($nativeTypes;"ch.prozessTeam.dentalProzess.Mitarbeiter.unused")#-1)
GET PASTEBOARD DATA("my.unique.signature";$x)
... unpack $x into data and insert / do whatever is needed
End if
This is, in fact, much simpler approach - you do not need to care
about process / interprocess D&D, with command SET FILE TO PASTEBOARD
you can D&D to system or other application etc. You can decide from /
to which object data can me dragged by selecting your own signatures,
or do a generic D&D by putting text / files to pasteboard.
