Hi Peter, Mark and Jacque,
Sounds better to set all this in a dragStart handler:
on dragStart
set the dragImage to <ID>
[set the dragImageOffset to <point>]
set the dragData[<type>] to <data>
end dragStart
In your case: set the dragData["text"] to Transform(the dragData
["text"]) -- specific function

Hi Jacque,
I tried this. As long as you don't pass the message, it isn't too
late. Perhaps this is new in 2.9.
I didn't try to actually set the dragData again, though. I believe
it is easier to store the dragdata in a variable and use the
variable from there.
That's what I meant by "too late". When dragdrop fires, the drag
action has already completed and you can't take advantage of the
drop after that; all you can do is directly manipulate the text.
I am sure I used to be able to set the dragdata in other drag
events but now in 2.9 I can't seem to make it work any more. So
your way may be the only way now. The problem with placing the text
in a field from within the script is that you lose the automatic
drop placement in the field; you have to calculate it. Dragdrop can
do that for you.
I'll play with it some more. We used to be able to set the dragdata
but things have changed now in 2.9.
