ESL supports drag and drop between almost all ESL objects, including all regions, keys, dialog boxes, and most dialog controls. When dragging from or dropping on list boxes, combination boxes, drop-down list boxes, tables, and multiple-line entry fields, you can determine which line, row, or column is affected.

ESL supports drag and drop within a single ESL application, between two ESL applications and between an ESL application and a non-ESL application, provide the clipboard format data types CF_TEXT and CF_HDROP are used.
