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. -- Peter Bozek ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) New Forum: https://discuss.4D.com Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
