Talking LiveCode • Re: dragging FROM LiveCode to external apps

Hi stan,
...
However, I can't figure out how to create the reverse of it - i.e. dragging stuff from Livecode to the external environment for processing by the OS or another app. I can successfully get my app to copy various types of control and populate the relevant clipboard data keys and this works fine for the OS and most external apps but I can't figure out how to parallel this copy/paste with drag & drop.
you may need to parse the keys of the DRAGDATA array, see dictionary, and act accordingly.
...
If I drag a control/object from Livecode to somewhere outside the application I don't get the mouse pointer changing to indicate something is being dragged as you might do when dragging from another application even if i set the allowabledragactions on the control appropriately.
Nut sure, but I'm afraid LC controls are a format tha external apps cannot understand, maybe that is the problem?

Best

Klaus
