The info(“dropwindownumber”) function returns the number of the window that contains the form data was dropped on.

Description

This function returns the number of the window that contains the form data was dropped on. Note: This window may not be the currently active window – the user can drag onto any window, not just the active one.

This example imports the dropped text onto the end of the current database. It starts by making sure the window that was dropped on is the active window.

window info("dropwindownumber")
importtext info("droptext"),"existingdata","append"

Note: If you are not familiar with window numbers, see [Window ID Numbers] to learn about the unique id numbers associated with each Panorama window.
