Make a graphic object movable

Make a container or drawing object movable so that the user can drag the object at runtime.

Tip: You can create movable dialog boxes and other floating interface elements.
  1. In Project view, select an object.
  2. In Properties, set Move target:
    • None. Object does not move as you drag the object at runtime.
    • Self. Object moves as you drag the object at runtime.
    • <AncestorObject>. Ancestor and descendant objects move as you drag the movable object at runtime.

Example

Consider this scenario:
  • The blue rectangle object is a child of the orange rectangle object.
  • The Move target of the blue rectangle is set to the orange rectangle.
  • At runtime, if you drag the blue rectangle, both blue and orange rectangles move.
