Value | Description
--- | ---
0 | Cannot drop shapes onto the group.

## Syntax

    <IsDropTarget>
        [Unit]
        [F]
        [Err]>
    </IsDropTarget>

## Attributes

Unit

Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is BOOL. For details about BOOL, see Units of measure.

F

Optional string. Represents the element's formula. This attribute can contain one of the following strings: "someFormula" if the formula exists locally, "No Formula" if the formula is locally deleted or blocked, or "Inh" if the formula is inherited.

If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant, for example, <element>5</element>.

Err

Optional string. Indicates that the formula evaluates to an error. The value of Err is the current value (an error message string); the value of the element is the last valid value.

## Remarks

In addition to enabling this behavior for a group, you must also enable the shape to become part of the group onto which it is dropped. To do this, specify the IsDropSource element of the shape as 1.

The IsDropTarget element is relevant only when contained in a Shape element. It is ignored when contained in a DocumentSheet, PageSheet, or StyleSheet element.
