Syntax BOOL OLEDropAllowed

Overview: Refer to Loading a Bitmap from a File.

Remarks

(Persistent property, available at design time) Determines whether the Main Control will attempt to load an image file that is dropped onto it in a drag-and-drop operation.

If OLEDropAllowed is TRUE, an OLEDropFile event will occur for each file dropped.

The drag-and-drop operation loads the image at its own bits per pixel. If it is a multipage file, only the first page is loaded.

Note: You should set this property to FALSE (0) before closing your window. Otherwise the operating system may not release the window.

Note: When using the LEAD ActiveX control on a web page, you should set this property to False on the Unload Event. For example, in VBScript this is done as follows:

Sub Window_OnUnload
LEAD1.OLEDropAllowed = False
end Sub

Value	Meaning
TRUE	Loading an image through an OLE drag-and-drop operation is enabled.
FALSE	Loading an image through an OLE drag-and-drop operation is disabled.
