**DRAGID(** [//thread//] [, //control//] **)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **DRAGID** | Returns matching host and target signatures on a successful drag-and-drop operation. |
| //thread// | The label of a numeric variable to receive the thread number of the host control. If the host control is in an external program, //thread// receives zero (0). |
| //control// | The label of a numeric variable to receive the field equate label of the host control. |

The **DRAGID** procedure returns the matching host and target control signatures on a successful drag-and-drop operation. If the user aborted the operation, DRAGID returns an empty string (''), otherwise it returns the first signature that matched between the two controls.

**        LIST,AT(120,120,20,20),USE(?List2),FROM(Que2),DROPID('List1','List3')**

**        !Allows drags, but not drops:**

**        LIST,AT(120,240,20,20),USE(?List3),FROM(Que3),DRAGID('List3')**
