Hi all,
I am trying to implement drag and drop. To familiarize myself with the API I
copied the DragSource code from the DND in SWT article. I wound up with the,
as far as I can tell, smallest possible DND program (see below). When run,
the program shows the label including text. Whenever I try to drag the text,
though, the "no dragging allowed" cursor (circle with diagonal line) is
immediately and continuously shown. So, to me, it looks like the minimal
example does not work. What could I be doing wrong?
Any help greatly appreciated,
Martin Maercker

dragLabel.setText("text to be transferred");
// Allow data to be copied or moved from the drag source

You have implemented a drag source but you do not have a drop target.
Something that supplies that data for a drag is not automatically a drop
target for the same data. See the next part of the article.

My example did not include a properly configured drop target. I've got dnd
within one application working now.
I was expecting other windows, at least those in the Eclipse IDE, to offer
themselves as drop targets, at least for things like TextTransfer. How do I
get a cross-application drag and drop set up?
Thanks,
Martin Maercker

Hi Veronika,
thanks for your input. I had originally expected other applications to be
the target. I've now got it running within my own application. I'm still
interested in cross-application possibilities, though.
The other mail in this thread (Re: DND problem solved) was sent before your
reply was downloaded.
Best regards,
Martin

Just run your application twice and you will see that you can drag from one
application to another. You can also drag your text into another
application like Word. Eclipse editors are not set up as drop targets for
text.

Thanks for the hint! I hadn't thought to try Word, thinking the Eclipse text
editors must be "closer" somehow... but you are right, it works like a
charm.
