Hi,

I use a TreeViewer as a DragSource and a Composite as a DropTarget, thus,
I can drag a tree item and drop a representation of it in my Composite
instance.

I would like to implement special features such as :

- to view data associated with the selected tree item, the user simply
drags and drops it,

- to modify data associated with the selected tree item, the user should
press "CTRL" (on Linux) or "Apple" (on Mac) key while dragging.

I've managed to detect if a key is pressed but not particularly the CTRL
one...

Thanks
Helene

In the dragEnter event and the dragOperationChanged event you can determine
the key modifier pressed by looking at the event.operation field. Of
particular interest to you would be the values below:

/**
* Drag and Drop Operation: During a dragEnter event or a
dragOperationChanged, if no modifier keys
* are pressed, the operation is set to DROP_DEFAULT. The application can
choose what the default
* operation should be by setting a new value in the operation field. If no
value is choosen, the
* default operation for the platform will be selected (value is 1 <<
4).
*
* @see DropTargetListener#dragEnter
* @see DropTargetListener#dragOperationChanged
* @since 2.0
*/
public final static int DROP_DEFAULT = 1 << 4;

/**
* Drag and Drop Operation: a copy of the data in the drag source is
* added to the drop target (value is 1 &lt;&lt; 0).
*/
public final static int DROP_COPY = 1 << 0;
