drag and drop change icon [message #536990]

Hello,

I implemented drag and drop support in my plugin using the following article.
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Workbench-DND/drag_d rop.html

Is there a way to change the icon that is displayed when something is dragged. I have a multi column custom tree viewer extended from TreeViewer. When I drag a row from the tree, I see multiple colums being dragged. Can I change that to to text of the first column only?

Thanks.

Hi,

You can set the image in the DragSourceListener's image field:

source.addDragListener (new DragSourceListener () {
public void dragStart(DragSourceEvent event) {
event.image = image; // <----
...
}
...
}

In your specific case of setting the drag image to the item's column 0 text,
you'll need to create an Image with this content. You could do this either
by using a GC to capture the bounds of the item's column 0 cell to an Image
(somewhat related example of this:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet95.java?view=co )
, or create an Image from scratch and GC.drawString(...) the item's column 0
text to it.

HTH,
Grant

Hello,

Could you please post the solution to this problem?
I am pretty new in JFace and I can not find a way to get the GC to capture the bounds of the item's column. Sad

I am only able to capture the full table.

Thanks!
