Event for Control.

Generated after a drag and drop operation completes.

This event occurs after a drop operation, after the user cancels the drag and drop operation by pressing the <Esc> key, or the drag source window loses focus. Use this event to implement Drag Moving or if you need to be notified the completion of a drag and drop operation. If you move data during a drag and do not copy it as well, you should delete the source data in the Drag Ended event.
