The following displays the value of dropTarget in a text stimulus:

<text myText>
/ items= ("dropTarget = <% text.myText.dropTarget %>")
</text>

The following displays the value of dropTarget in an instruction page:

<page myPage>

The following code shows how to turn on and off the dropTarget property of stimuli at the beginning of a trial. In this particular case, the 'dot' can now only be dropped onto the 'leftBox', even if the 'rightBox' was previously set to be a dropTarget as well.

<trial foo>
/ inputDevice = dragDrop
/ onTrialBegin = {
  shape.leftBox.dropTarget = true;
  shape.rightBox.dropTarget = false;
}
/ stimulusFrames = [1 = leftBox, rightBox, dot]
/ validResponse = (leftBox, rightBox)
</trial>
