Hello,

how can i use a hole composite as a DragSource?
		Composite composite;
		DragSource dragSource = new DragSource(composite, DND.DROP_DEFAULT | DND.DROP_MOVE | DND.DROP_COPY);
		Transfer[] transfers = new Transfer[] {new MyTransfer()};
		dragSource.setTransfer(transfers);
		dragSource.addDragListener(new DragSourceAdapter() {
			
			@Override
			public void dragStart(DragSourceEvent event) {
				
				System.out.println("start");
			}
			
			@Override
			public void dragSetData(DragSourceEvent event) {
				System.out.println("setData");	
			}
		});


It doesn't work... What is my mistake?

Thanks...

Hi,

It's not different from any other control. For example,
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/org. eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet79. java
demonstrates dragging between two Labels. If you change its label1 to be a
Composite and comment out its setText(...) line then you have a Composite as
a drag source (the part about using a custom data type is not relevant to
your question).

HTH,
Grant

Ah okay thanks my Problem was, that the Composite was covered by the other widgets.

If you want dragging any child of a Composite to initiate a drag then you
need to create a DragSource for each child. There isn't a way to make one
just for the Composite that will automatically work for its children as
well.

Ok thanks good to know. I thought it works for the deepest control too.
