DragDetect occurs on mouse down. You
must decide at that point whether you want to use native DND, or just receive
mouse events within a single control.

Subject	[gef-dev] Dragging and Dropping between two instances of the same        editor

I am a relative newby using GEF (and Eclipse plugin
development, if truth be 
told), and am currently at the point of wanting to introduce drag and drop.
 
I want the user to be able to drag an object in one editor instance to
another
-- where both the editor instance are the same kind of editor -- one on
one 
input source, the other on another source.  When they drop the object
in the 
2nd instance, a copy of the original object is created.

My problem is that I must enable both dragging and dropping on the editor,
and 
when this is done the DnD code seems to override the move/resize functionality
I already have in there.  I was hoping that move/resize would continue
to 
operate on objects dragged around within a single editor windowm, and that
DnD 
would kick in only when the object was dragged from one instance of the
editor 
to another.

Is this possible?  If so, what needs to be be done?

Many thanks!  I've been enjoying working in GEF.
