Detect drop-location on system [message #482512]

Hi,

I am able to drag/drop a file from a tableviewer (shows a list of files)
to the windows explorer (desktop or some other folder) using a
FileTransfer.

How is it possible to get the location where the file is dropped? What I
do is very basic:

DragSource source = new DragSource(table, DND.DROP_MOVE);
source.setTransfer(new Transfer[] { FileTransfer.getInstance() });

source.addDragListener(new DragSourceListener() {
@Override
public void dragFinished(DragSourceEvent event) {
}

@Override
public void dragSetData(DragSourceEvent event) {
}

@Override
public void dragStart(DragSourceEvent event) {
event.image = imageForFile;
event.data = pathToDraggedFile;
}
}

But even in the dragFinished()-method I do not get where the file is
dropped. So, must do something conceptually different, I guess.

Thanks already,
Jürgen

public void dragFinished(DragSourceEvent event) {
System.out.println("dragFinished");
}

Hi,

This is currently not supported in SWT. There is an enhancement request for this -- https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=288222
You can add yourself to the bug and vote for it if you are interested in the feature.
