Multiple DropTargets [message #465644]

I have droptarget 1 and 2. I have dragsource 1 and 2. You can drag from
1 to 1 and from 2 to 2 but not 1 to 2 or 2 to 1 (when talking about
sources and targets respectively). In the drop method, I can check the
event.data to make sure that this action is ignored if incorrect but the
cursor still shows up as a valid drop point. I'd like the cursor to turn
into the circle with a line through it if you drag 1 to 2.

This should be as simple as checking the event.data in the dragOver()
method (or any of the other provided methods I can implement), but for
some reason the event.data is always null in these methods. Therefore I'm
stumped. I don't know how to accomplish this task.

Thanks,
Dan

See DropTarget section of :
http://eclipse.org/articles/Article-SWT-DND/DND-in-SWT.html

What you are trying to do is only supported on Windows:

public void dragOver(DropTargetEvent event) {
event.feedback = DND.FEEDBACK_SELECT | DND.FEEDBACK_SCROLL;
if (textTransfer.isSupportedType(event.currentDataType)) {
// NOTE: on unsupported platforms this will return null
Object o = textTransfer.nativeToJava(event.currentDataType);
String t = (String)o;
if (t != null) System.out.println(t);
}
}
