If have never done a whole lot with RB Drag and Drop. Some where along the way (I just fired up 3.5.2 to check my memory) the DropObject event acquired an Action parameter it did not originally have. The language references lists 4 constants as possible values.

DragActionDefault:   Default action.

DragActionCopy:     Copy the dragged item.

DragActionMove:     Move the dragged item.

DragActionLink:     Link the dragged item.



My question what causes these to be set to anything but default?

I know for example that Listbox.DragReorderRows sets it to DragActionMove. Useful only in that you know you don't have to handle the drop in the DropObject Event.



When else would it be set?

Was this something that was meant for future expansion that has not happened?

Is it something I need to worry about?
