Possible to drag a Link from a Browser into SWT App? [message #449455]

Hi,

I wonder if its possible to drag a Link out of Firefox and drop it into
an SWT application (and access the HREF of the URL as String).
Unfortunately the URLTransfer class in SWT is not public and the
HTMLTransfer class is giving far more information in event.data, than
just the Link that was dragged.

Any examples?

Thanks,
Ben

URLTransfer not currently supported. Does FireFox also provide the URL in a
TextTransfer?

Ah ok TextTransfer is better than HTMLTransfer for Firefox. I am getting
URL and
Name of the link inside event.data.

Interesting that Internet Explorer is neither allowing TextTransfer nor
HTMLTransfer
when dragging Links. Any way to get it work with both browsers?

No, running Firefox inside the Browser widget is unfortunately not
possible (yet).
Firefox was running outside Eclipse and I dragged the link from there into a
SWT application (which worked, using HTMLTransfer or TextTransfer).
