If there is no target editpart, the droptarget should not indicate that it
is enabled, which results in NOT sign if all are disabled. So, one answer is
to avoid being targeted when you don't accept a certain transfer type.
Why isn't canExecute used by default? Because the data being dropped is not
available until the drop is completed. If you want to use canExecute(), call
setEnabledDeterminedByCommand(true).

Thanks a lot, unfortunately it looks like there is no solution. As you say,
the data being dropped is not available until the drop is completed, so
canExecute() does not work. I am not sure I understand the first part of
your answer, but my issue is that I want to accept some things that come
with a LocalSelectionTransfer and some I don't. So I have to install a
listener for the LocalSelectionTransfer, but I need a look at the actual
data before the drop is completed.
For the benefit of others reading this thread: The correct method call is
setEnablementDeterminedByCommand( true ).

When dragging from the palette to the GV, I'm sure that we cheat and just
take the data from the transfer and make it available on the request, even
before drop occurs. But, this is only useful for targeting since we still
don't check the command's enablement (unless the client turns it on).

I got it to work for LocalSelectionTransfer with
setEnablementDeterminedByCommand(true)because it has the data in it right
away, event when the DropTargetEvent does not.
