Drag and Drop on Mac? [message #436699]

Hi,

I just read that DND is not yet supported on Mac. Nevertheless looking
into the sources of MAC SWT library in the package .dnd there seem to be
all needed classes. So, is it working or is it not working? And if not,
how does SWT tell the application its not working. Does it exit critically
with an exception? I am not able to test my application on Mac, that is
why I am asking.

Regards,
Ben

Forgot something...

While reading the SWT Component Development Resources I found out this:
"macos/carbon - This port is still "early access". Functionality such as
Printing [...] are still missing [...]".
Wasn't print support added to 3.0 M6 or some time ago? I am not sure how
up to date that page is?

Drag and Drop works on the Mac within the same application. It is not
supported between applications because there are some limitations
interacting with Finder and until I can figure out how to properly work with
Finder, I do not want to risk loosing user's files so I will not enable
dragging between applications.

That is just great to hear. I am using DND inside my application between
CTabFolder and Tree. I suggest Eclipse should update the SWT Dev.
Resources "Port Status" for Mac / Carbon, its irritating currently
( http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-swt-home/dev.html#snippets)

Thanks,

for all the ports in the future.

The restriction on the Mac is on the DragSource. You can not drag from an
SWT application to another application. The SWT DropTarget however can
accept data from any source.
