Drag and Drop on Text Widgets [message #445180] Wed, 27 October 2004 15:06 Go to next message

Hi everyone,

IŽm new to swt and I am currently checking out SWT as an alternative to
swing.
For the Project drag and drop is essential.
I did not find any example for Drag and Drop on text widgets so I adapted
the example that was
provided for a label (see
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-SWT-DND/DND-in-SWT.h tml).

Well, the problem is, that I cannot drag text out of the text widget. When
I am trying to drag the
currently selected text, the editor selects new text instead of draging
the current selection.
What am I doing wrong?

BTW: On the mac i can drag the selection by pressing the ctrl key when
clicking into the selection.

Is it possible to bind the text on the mouse courser when draging? As one
can find for example in
TextEdit on the mac?

Thanks in advance

Matthias

I am in the process of adding support in 3.1 for dragging selected text in a
Text widget. It is not yet supported.

hmmm, not good.
Any Idea when this problem will be solved?

While I was checking out this bug, I noticed that the behaviour is
different on Windows and Mac (Mac OS 10.3.5).
