How to define Drag and drop transfer types? [message #444069]

Hello all,

Does anyone know some good pointers to examples on how to define your
own transfer types for a drag and drop operation? I found the nice
tutorial of e.g Veronika Irvine but it describes only transfers of
simple Text data types.

More concretely, I have a canvas whereon I have defined my own graphical
element classes, and I would like to move them around using drag and drop.

Any suggestions?

See the snippet "define my own data transfer type":

Thank you very much. Meanwhile, I found the snippet myself, sorry about
that. But I deserve some mercy, because the eclipse snippets are really
hard to find.

Anyhow, using the snippet I was able to transfer my own objects with
success. Maybe it would be informative to add the snippet to your DnD
tutorial.

Regards

Dominique
