The info(“droptypes”) function returns a list of all the data types dragged onto a Drag Receiver form object (see Drag and Drop).

Description

This function returns a list of all the data types dragged onto a Drag Receiver form object (see Drag and Drop). Most of these types can’t be handled by Panorama, so this list isn’t really very useful. It’s generally best to use the info(“droptext”), info(“dropvcard”) and info(“dropfiles”) function to explicitly retrieve the information you want.
