Dragging Text and Images

You can drag text and images from the client system to an open application in a remote desktop or a published application. For example, you can drag text from a browser on the client system and drop it into the WordPad application in a remote desktop. Depending on how the drag and drop feature is configured, you might also be able to drag text and images from an open application in a remote desktop or a published application to the client system.

The following data formats are supported.

• Plain Text (NSPasteboardTypeString)
• Rich Text (NSPasteboardTypeRTF)
• Image (kUTTypeImage)

For administrators - a Horizon administrator can configure drag and drop behavior by configuring group policy settings. The settings to configure depend on the Horizon Agent version. For complete information, see the Horizon Remote Desktop Features and GPOs document for your Horizon version.

For end users - a Horizon administrator can configure drag and drop behavior. A Horizon administrator can also disable this feature.
