# Description

Use the fullDragData to gain access to the system drag-and-drop clipboard.

If the contents of the drag-and-drop clipboard were placed there by another app, the clipboard will be automatically cleared when written to. If you want to do this explicitly, use ``set the fullDragData to empty``.

The ``text``, ``rtftext``, ``htmltext``, ``styles`` and ``styledtext`` properties are handled specially by LiveCode: adding any one of them will cause the rest to be automatically generated and added.

If you require lower-level access to the drag-and-drop clipboard, see the rawDragData property.
