Hello,

I would like to be able to drop images or text file from another browser window to my application.

Label image = toolkit.createLabel(header, "", SWT.NO_FOCUS);
image.setImage(DEFAULT_IMAGE);

int operations = DND.DROP_MOVE | DND.DROP_COPY | DND.DROP_DEFAULT | DND.DROP_LINK;
Transfer[] tt = new Transfer[] { TextTransfer.getInstance(), FileTransfer.getInstance(), ImageTransfer.getInstance(), URLTransfer.getInstance()};
DropTarget target = new DropTarget(image, operations);
target.setTransfer(tt);
// ImageDropListener only implements DropListener methods by loggin its name. 
target.addDropListener(new ImageDropListener());

The ImageDropListener implements DropTargetListener and is correctly called when drag and dropping from within the RAP application, but when I'm draging an image from the web, i get the "DROP_LINK" decoration but that's all.
I'm using Rap 2.1.0

Do I miss something ? Is there an entry point to register somewhere or is this functionality not yet implemented ?

I was full of hope until I found this message http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/204387/653628/#msg_653628 and no bug / enhencement request in the bug tracker...

Thanks,

Bruno

Hi Bruno,
drag and drop is currently possible only inside RAP application.
Best,
Ivan
