On drop (property)
For automation interface information about the On Drop property (Owned On Drop Script association through the automation interface), see the automation interface topic for a Script in the Related Topics. When you select the On Drop check box, Modeler creates a Script object for the Stereotype through the Owned On Drop Script association. The Script Type of the Script object is set to OnDrop. The Script object is used to record the On Drop Script that is displayed on the UI Events tab of the Stereotype's Property Pages.
This property specifies that on drop script can be specified for a Stereotype. After selecting the On Drop check box, you can type script in the associated box.
When the Stereotype is applied to an item, the On Drop script is run whenever an item is moved to or copied to that item in a Modeler pane.
When the Stereotype is applied to a diagram, the On Drop script is run whenever any of the following drag-and-drop operations are performed on the diagram in the diagram editor (not when items are added through the toolbar buttons):
• An item is dragged to the diagram from a Modeler pane.
• A symbol is moved on the diagram, including the reconnection of a link.
By default, the On Drop check box is cleared.
You use the Code Editor to edit On Drop Script code. The Code Editor language is always Visual Basic when editing On Drop Script code, irrespective of the Language that is set for parent Packages and the Model.
