LabView Local Project Settings

Drag/Drop:Drag Mode Property

Short Name: DragMode

Installed With: Base Package

Class: MulticolumnListbox Properties

Sets the default behavior for a drag and drop operation for the control. If you set copy only, LabVIEW only supports copying data during drag and drop operations. If you set move only, LabVIEW only supports moving data during drag and drop operations. If you set copy and move, LabVIEW supports both copying and moving data during the drag and drop operation. The settings only apply when the control configured is the source of the drag and drop operation.

Use the Control events for more control over how users drag items within controls.

This property is similar to the Drag Mode item on the shortcut menu of a multicolumn listbox control.
