Hi Karel,
Not exactly, but almost. The event's detail field indicates whether the
operation is a move, copy, etc., which is what ultimately matters for DND.
The problem is that the modifiers that distinguish these cases are not
consistent across platforms. For instance, on win32 and gtk: copy ==
DND+ctrl, but on OSX: copy == DND+Alt. This is why the event's stateMask is
abstracted to a DND operation that respects the platform convention. Is
differentiating the type of operation the reason that you want to know the
modifier?
If this is not why you want to know the stateMask, then the only workaround
that comes to mind is to add a DragDetect filter on the Display, as this
event will give you the stateMask at drag time. When you receive the event
you can store its stateMask somewhere until a DropTargetEvent is received
for which you want it. The only case this approach will not catch is
dragging from outside of your app into it.
You may also wish to CC yourself to
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=71538 , as this could also
help with what you want.
HTH,
Grant

Thanks Grant. I'll use the DragDetect filter workaround since I want to
use the same modifier key on all platforms. I use DND for a mapping and
DND+ctrl will be used for a special kind of mapping. My usage is a bit
different from the standard MOVE and COPY operations.
Regards,
Karel
