You can add data to an existing chart or grid by dragging and dropping the data source onto the object in a display. For example, if you select a source data item and drag the item onto a Pie chart, the item is added to the Pie chart as a new category. For a detailed procedure, see To add data to an object in run-time.
Data can also be transferred from one object to another with drag-and-drop. For example, you can drag data from a list box onto a grid, and the data from the list box will appear as a new column on the grid. Real time data, SQL data, and historical data can be used with these drag and drop methods. The objects that support transfer of data to a grid are List Boxes, Combo Boxes, and Trees. For a detailed procedure, see To transfer data from a List/Combo Box or Tree to a Grid.
NOTE: Only SQL SELECT statements are supported for drag-and-drop. You cannot drag and drop an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement.
