Drag and drop between AWT and SWT? [message #163988]

I am new to SWT. As far as I know, the mechanism of the DND between AWT and
SWT are totoally different. Is there any way or bridge to make them working
together.

I have an existing component written in AWT and I need to write a new
component in SWT. I want to drag from the AWT to SWT without rewritting the
old one.

Thanks in advance.

Kevin,

Have a look to code: org.eclipse.swt.internal.SWT_AWT.

This offers support to embed an AWT/SWING component into a SWT composite.

(Use SWT+Eclipse 3.0 only , I think this would not exist yet in 2.1).

To embed your AWT component:

Create a SWT composite in your display shell, using style SWT.EMBEDDED.

Create an AWT Panel (for example) to host the AWT component. Creation method
is something such as:

Panel myPanel = SWT_AWT.new_Panel(Composite);

Put your AWR component in the panel:

myPanel.add(myAWTComponent);

Regards

Thanks for your reply. I know there is SWT_AWT bridge. I have tried putting
AWT components in the SWT, the DND between the AWT components work. But I
don't know how to get the drop event in SWT from the dragging in AWT. The
DND between AWT and SWT are using Transferable and Transfer to transfer the
data. Do you think the DND works between them?

Thanks,

Kevin

I do not know the answer for sure, but I am afraid you ask too much to the
AWT/SWT bridge ;-)

Try the eclipse.platform.swt newsgroup.
