Description

The WA GET PREFERENCE command gets the current value of the preference in the Web area designated by the * and object parameters.

Pass the preference whose value you want to get in the selector parameter. You can pass one of the following constants, found in the Web Area theme:

ConstantValueComment
WA enable contextual menu4Allow the display of a standard contextual menu in the Web area. Default (any engine) = False
WA enable URL drop101Change drop icon and call On Window Opening Denied event when URLs or files are dropped in the Web area. Default (any engine) = False
WA enable Web inspector100Allow the display of the Web inspector in the area. Default (any engine) = False

In the value parameter, pass a variable that will receive the current value of the preference. The value variable is always a Boolean: it contains True if the preference is active and False otherwise.

Compatibility

Drag and drop is not supported with Web areas on Windows when the Fluent UI rendering theme is used. The WA enable URL drop selector value is always False in this context.
