Details

The _getDragData method is called automatically after a drag site object is dropped and before the _validateDropData method runs on the drop site object. This method runs only on drag site objects. This method provides a way to export the data to the drop site object. The data are passed as a global list. The format of the data depends on the representation passed in. _dndTEXT, _dndFILE, and _dndDATASET representations require a list of character items. All three representations return one or more character strings. When you use the _getDragData method, each item in the returned list must be a character item.

The list passed into this method is a global list to facilitate passing data between tasks. Any lists added to dataList should also be global lists.
