tree drop event

How can I get a tree drop event and not lose the original functionality of a tree drag and drop.  I want to be able to move and copy tree items normally as if you didn't capture the event.  But once I capture the tree drop event it seems like labview expects you to control all the tree item adding and removing.  Is there any way to preserve what was happening before?  All I really need is to know when a copy happens and what the new tag is for the copied item and its children if any, and what the original tags were.  I think I know how to get this information from teh tree drop event, but once I do that I lose the original functionality of the event.
 
BTW I am using LV 8.2.1
 
Thank you.

Hello,

I think the event you're looking for is not "Drop", but "Drag Ended".

This event will give the result of a drag action ("Drop Cancel", "Drop Move" or "Drop Copy").

Kind regards,

André

This would work, but I don't see where I can get the new copied tags?

You could try with the "Get Drag Drop Data" function in the "Application control" pallete.
