DND within editor and natively [message #187589] Wed, 13 July 2005 17:45 Go to next message

Hello,
I'm not exactly sure how to do this, or if it is even possible but here
goes...

I am currently using GEF's built in edit functionality to allow my
figures to be moved around and resized. I would also like to allow
these same figures to be dragged into other applications for native drag
and drop. So basically I want to use the GEF functionality when the
mouse stays within the bounds of the Editor. When the mouse is dragged
out, I want to switch to native functionality and drop some text or
whatever.

Any ideas on how to this?

Thanks in advance! Nick.

SWT does not support changing from mouse drag to native drag.
