# click(forDuration:thenDragTo:)

Clicks and holds an element for a duration you specify, and then drags it to another element.

## Declaration

```swift
func click(forDuration duration: TimeInterval, thenDragTo otherElement: XCUIElement)
```

## Parameters

- `duration`: The duration of the initial click and hold.
- `otherElement`: The element over which to finish the drag.

## Discussion

Discussion Specify a duration long enough to initiate a drag operation. If the element exists within a scrollable view but is offscreen, the framework attempts to scroll the element onscreen before performing the click.
