Hi there,

something I haven't come across yet: Is there any reasonable way to
emulate the typical (windows platform) ghosted drag image of a component
dragged within a DND operation, since its win32-API-implementation will
never find it's way into SWT.

Maybe anybody here has accomplished this already, since I didn't find a
SINGLE HINT on the www, or maybe, some ideas by the geniuses of IBM?

Thanks for your concern

Regards,

Boris

I believe this is in the works, although I don't know the extent of the
feature or if it'll make it into 3.1 final. You can find it here:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-swt-home/R3_1/plan.html

"Improve Drag and Drop Under Effects" .. no bug has been associated with it,
but it's marked as in progress.

Hi Emil,

thanks for the hint. So you too don't believe emulating this feature with
org.eclipse.swt.graphics (in the meantime...)is possible, since the api
as-is won't let you overcome the problem of drawing on more than one
background component or better to say, drawing on the os shell itself, or
is it me again?

Regards,

Boris

I'm not sure if you can emulate it with the graphics package. It might be
doable, but it sounds like a lot of work, and on windows that stuff is
partially transparent, which sounds like an even harder issue. If you really
really need it now, then I'd say give it a shot. Otherwise I'd say wait
until it's implemented.
