**SETDROPID(** //string// **)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **SETDROPID** | Sets the DROPID procedure's return value. |
| //string// | A string constant or variable containing the value the DROPID procedure will return. |

The **SETDROPID** procedure sets the DROPID procedure's return value. This allows the DROPID procedure to pass the data in a drag-and-drop operation. When drag-and-drop operations are performed between separate Clarion applications, this is the mechanism to use to pass the data.

**Example:**

**Que1 QUEUE**

**      STRING(30)**

**     END**

**Que2 QUEUE**

**      STRING(30)**

**     END**

**WinOne WINDOW,AT(0,0,160,400)**

**     LIST,AT(120,0,20,20),USE(?List1),FROM(Que1),DRAGID('List1')**

**                    !Allows drags, but not drops**

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

**                    !Allows drops from List1 or the Windows File Manager, **

**                    !but no drags**

**    END**

** CODE**

** OPEN(WinOne)**

** ACCEPT**

**  CASE EVENT()**

**  OF EVENT:Drag     !When a drag event is attempted**

**   IF DRAGID()      !check for success**

**    SETDROPID(Que1) !and setup info to pass**

**   END**

**  OF EVENT:Drop     !When drop event is successful**

**   Que2 = DROPID()  !get dropped info, from List1 or File Manager**

**   ADD(Que2)        !and add it to the queue**

**  END**

** END**
