Hello All,

If the dragging editpart is of type border item editpart, then you need to
pass isMove as true always so that it can't dragged out of its component.
By using BorderItemSelectionEditPolicy you can write like,

return new BorderItemSelectionEditPolicy()
{
@Override
protected void replaceHandleDragEditPartsTracker(Handle handle)
{
if (handle instanceof AbstractHandle)
{
AbstractHandle h = (AbstractHandle) handle;
h.setDragTracker(new DragEditPartsTrackerEx(getHost())
{
@Override
protected boolean isMove()
{
return true;
}
});
}
}
};

Hello All,

If you are dragging a component editpart then override
getPrimaryDragEditPolicy() like below and the control of it,

@Override
public EditPolicy getPrimaryDragEditPolicy()
{
return new ResizableShapeEditPolicy()
{
@Override
protected void replaceHandleDragEditPartsTracker(Handle handle)
{
if (handle instanceof AbstractHandle)
{
AbstractHandle h = (AbstractHandle) handle;
h.setDragTracker(new DragEditPartsTrackerEx(getHost())
{
@Override
protected boolean handleDragStarted()
{
try
{
lockTargetEditPart(getParent());
}
catch (Exception e)
{
FlowVinciDiagramEditorPlugin.getInstance().logException(e);
}
return super.handleDragStarted();
}
});
}
}
};
}
