-
- USING DRAGTEXT
- ==============
-
- Run DragText at startup to load it. It will remain in memory until
- you reboot, but it will NOT appear in any task or window list.
-
- Run DragText again to open its Options Notebook whenever you need to:
- - set its options and defaults
- - disable it for a specific program
- - review runtime statistics and error messages
- - read the online Help
- DragText's help window has 'Forward' and 'Back' buttons to make
- browsing it easier.
-
- DragText supports 6 types of text window found in most PM apps:
-
- 1)Single-line Entryfields 3)List boxes 5)Spin buttons
- 2)Multi-line Entryfields 4)Combo boxes 6)Static text
-
- It uses 6 icons and 3 mouse pointers that change as you drag text
- and files to identify what will happen if you drop at that point.
-
- CTRL and SHIFT select copy and move operations (the default is copy);
- ALT inserts a file or folder's contents into an MLE;
- INSERT toggles between insert and replace mode (in entryfields only).
- Most defaults can be changed from the Options Notebook.
-
-
- Dragging Text
- -------------
- Highlight the text, then:
-
- Drag text between windows:
- - drag it to the target window
- - position it using the I-beam mouse pointer (not the icon)
- - drop it
-
- Create a DragText file or WebExplorer_Url object:
- - drag it to the Desktop or any folder
- - drop it
- A file's title will be based on the text, minus punctuation.
- A Url objects's title comes from the Url, minus unnecessary words.
-
-
- Dragging Files and Folders
- --------------------------
-
- Read a DragText file or WebEx Url:
- - drag the file or object into ANY supported window
- - position it using the I-beam pointer
- - drop it
- DragText treats its own files and Urls the same as dragged text.
-
- Read any file:
- - drag the file into a multiline entryfield
- - use the I-beam pointer to position it
- - press the ALT key, then drop it
-
- List a directory's contents:
- - drag a folder icon into a multiline entryfield
- - use the I-beam pointer to position it
- - press the ALT key, then drop it
-
