IDragProvider::get_DropEffects method (uiautomationcore.h)

Retrieves an array of localized strings that enumerate the full set of effects that can happen when this element is dropped as part of a drag-and-drop operation.

This property is read-only.

Syntax

HRESULT get_DropEffects(
  SAFEARRAY **pRetVal
);

Parameters

pRetVal

Return value

None

Remarks

Some drag operations support a set of different drop effects. For example, a drag operation initiated through a right-click might display a menu of options when the element is dropped. In the source-only style of Microsoft UI Automation drag-and-drop, no elements implement the DropTarget pattern. To find out what effect dropping the dragged element will have, a client can query the DropEffect property of the dragged element. This property can be a short string such as "move", or a longer one, such as "insert into Main group". The strings are always localized.
