Linxux/GTK drop fails [message #438907] Fri, 02 July 2004 19:58

I am cross posting this from GEF.

---------------------------------


After spending some time looking at this it looks like I mis-interpreted
the type of cursor during the drag-and-drop. The drag was starting fine,
it was a problem with my transfer and the drop data being null.

Now, everything is working fine, on windows....not on Linux/GTK.


After resolving the problems I moved over to a Linux/GTK machine and the
drop does not work. I am having trouble debugging this since as soon as
the drop starts, and my breakpoint in createTargetRequest is hit, I loose
control of my machine. The mouse is not functional...

I implemented all the methods in AbstractTransferDropListener and put
print statements in each.

I see the following:
updateTargetRequest
createTargetRequest
isEnabled
dragEnter

then multiple cycles of:
updateTargetRequest
createTargetRequest
isEnabled

as soon as I release the mouse I see one more:
updateTargetRequest
createTargetRequest

And thats it. That is the last method called. I never seen getNewObject in
my factor called...

I have tried other drag-and-drop on Linux and they seem to work, like from
the Package Explorer to the editor.

Also, I have tried a PalletRoot, and the drop onto my graphical editor
worked just fine.

Thanks for any help.
Mark.
