- y : real

## Methods

- accept(enumeration action)
- accept()
- acceptProposedAction()

- string getDataAsString(string format)

## Detailed Description

The position of the drag event can be obtained from the x and y properties, and the keys property identifies the drag keys of the event source.

The existence of specific drag types can be determined using the hasColor, hasHtml, hasText, and hasUrls properties.

The list of all supplied formats can be determined using the formats property.

Specific drag types can be obtained using the colorData, html, text, and urls properties.

A string version of any available mimeType can be obtained using getDataAsString.
