Fields

Name	Value	Description
None	0	No action. Typically used when the DataPackage object requires delayed rendering.
Copy	1	Copies the content to the target destination. When implementing clipboard functionality, this corresponds to the "Copy" command.
Move	2	Copies the content to the target destination and deletes the original. When implementing clipboard functionality, this corresponds to the "Cut" command.
Link	4	Creates a link for the data.

Remarks

If your app supports the exchange of data through clipboard and drag and drop, you need to specify what type operation the user wants. The available operations are none/no action, copy, move, and link.

Many existing controls, such as the text box control, include support for Clipboard actions. Before implementing your own support for these actions, check to see if they are already supported.
