Hello

Is it possible to change the text which is shown during a drag operation.
I tried to change it, but it seems that always the toString() operation of
the selected tableitem is shown.

Thx,
uli

Hi

I don't understand this. I want to change the text, not the image. Or do
you mean to take a image as text?

The image that's shown when dragging is just a picture of the source, even
if the source's content was only text. So the drag image has no concept of
its text, it's just an image. But as was suggested, you can change this
image by setting the DragSourceEvent's image field. Create an Image, create
a GC on the image, gc.drawString(...), gc.dispose(), disposeTheImageLater.
