Hi there,

I am implementing DND on a set of Labels the drop tager
//--------------
new DropTargetListener() {
public void dragEnter(DropTargetEvent arg0) {
Label item = (Label) ((DropTarget) arg0.getSource())
.getControl();
if (((TableBean) item.getData()).getTableName().equals(
((TableBean) selItem.getData()).getTableName()))
arg0.detail = DND.DROP_NONE;
else {
arg0.detail = DND.DROP_LINK;
}

prevDropTargetBg = ((Label) arg0.getSource())
.getBackground();
((Label) arg0.getSource()).setBackground(display
.getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_DARK_MAGENTA));

}

public void dragLeave(DropTargetEvent arg0) {
((Label) arg0.widget).setBackground(prevDropTargetBg);
}

public void dragOperationChanged(DropTargetEvent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

public void dragOver(DropTargetEvent arg0) {
}

public void drop(DropTargetEvent arg0) {
if (selItem == null)
return;
String dt = (String) arg0.data;
Label item = (Label) arg0.widget;
item.setBackground(prevDropTargetBg);
int ttlTop = SWTUtils.getOffsetTop(item, tableCanvas);
int ttlLeft = SWTUtils.getOffsetLeft(item, tableCanvas);
if (item == null)
return;
qBean.addJoin(selTable, selItem, (TableBean) item
.getParent().getData(), item);
}

public void dropAccept(DropTargetEvent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}
}
//--------------

the line in dragEnter

Label item = (Label) ((DropTarget) arg0.getSource())
.getControl();

returns the Label that the drag originated from, not the label that the
mouse is currently hovering over.

Is this the normal behavour of DnD, or is there something I am doing wrong.

I have triend this two ways, one where every label shares the same
DropTargetListener, and one where every label has it's own instance of a
DropTargetListener, both times using the code as specified above.

Both times the same result has occured.

What I am trying to get returned is the Control over which the mouse is
hovering. I will try with a MouseTrackListener, but I think, when in DnD
mode, the MouseTrackListener isn't fired.

Regards

Steve

Calling

Label item = (Label) ((DropTarget) arg0.getSource()).getControl();

in dragEnter DOES return the widget that you are hovering over. I have
verified this by printing out the handles of the widgets in a simple
example. There is something else wrong with your example. Perhaps the
"selItem" value is being set incorrectly.
