Event: OnBeforeDrop (i_nXPos as Long, i_nYPos as Long, i_ipRange as AuthenticRange, i_ipData as cancelBoolean

 

XMLSpy scripting environment - VBScript:

Function On_AuthenticBeforeDrop(nXPos, nYPos, objRange, objData)

 ' On_AuthenticBeforeDrop = False  ' to disable operation

End Function

 

XMLSpy scripting environment - JScript:

function On_AuthenticBeforeDrop(nXPos, nYPos, objRange, objData)

{

 // return false;  /* to disable operation */

}

 

XMLSpy IDE Plugin:

IXMLSpyPlugIn.OnEvent (11, ...)        // nEventId = 11

 

Description

This event gets triggered whenever a previously dragged object gets dropped inside the application window. All event related information gets passed as parameters.

 

The first two parameters specify the mouse position at the time when the event occurred. The parameter objRange passes a range object that selects the XML element below the mouse position. The value of this parameter might be NULL. Be sure to check before you access the range object. The parameter objData allows to access information about the object being dragged.

 

Return False to cancle the drop operation. Return True (or nothing) to continue normal operation.

' access XMLSpy (without checking for any errors)

Dim objSpy As XMLSpyLib.Application

Set objSpy = GetObject("", "XMLSpy.Application")

 

' this is the event callback routine connected to the OnBeforeDrop

' event of object objView

Private Function objView_OnBeforeDrop(ByVal i_nXPos As Long, ByVal i_nYPos As Long,

                                    ByVal i_ipRange As IAuthenticRange,

                                    ByVal i_ipData As IAuthenticDataTransfer) As Boolean

 

  If (Not i_ipRange Is Nothing) Then

       MsgBox ("Dropping on content is prohibited");

      Return False;

  Else

      Return True;

  End If

End Function

 

' use VBA keyword WithEvents to connect to object-level event

Dim WithEvents objView As XMLSpyLib.AuthenticView
