Hi Peter,
This silly example works to drag and copy text from TextEdit into a
Revolution field, in Mac OS X:
on dragDrop
set the dragAction to "copy"
put the dragData["text"] into myData
replace "o" with "X" in myData
put myData into me
end dragDrop
Just put the dragData into a variable and don't pass the dragDrop
message.
Best regards,
Mark Schonewille

I am trying to modify the dragdata before a text string is dropped,
and it's not working, so I must be doing something wrong. The idea
is for the user to select some text from one field (unlocked), and
drag it to to a target field (unlocked), and I want to insert a tab
in place of a space in the text and drop the modified text into the
target field. Both fields are in the same group on the same card.
Here's my script (in the target field):
on dragDrop
set the dragaction to "copy"
put the dragData into mLine -- works fine, so does using the
'dragData["text"]'
set the itemdelimiter to tab
put item 2 of mLine into mChunk
put length(word 1 of mChunk) into w
put tab into char w+1 of mChunk
put mChunk into item 2 of mLine
set the dragdata to mLine
-- set the dragdata["text"] to mLine -- I tried this too
pass dragDrop
end dragDrop
There are no other handlers in the script, and no other dragdrop
handlers in the group, card, or stack scripts.
