PointerEventData.pointerDrag

Description

The object that is receiving OnDrag.

Calling pointerDrag returns the GameObject this script is attached to. This is a ScrollView.

The parent of the pointerDrag can be set to null. This prevents OnDrag and OnEndDrag from being called.

// OnDrag() has the pointerDrag GameObject removed.
// This stops the cursor being moved.
