| [platform-swt-dev] FW: Drag & Drop Edge Case |
|
Hello,
I’ve got an interesting problem I’m trying to work around.
I’ll start with a little background. I’ve got a Canvas
control that I am painting objects onto. These objects are movable within
the canvas by dragging them with the mouse. The objects are 100%
lightweight. My objective is to allow the objects to be moved as they are
now within the canvas area, but if they are dragged to the edge of the canvas
my internal move operation would be promoted to an actual DnD operation.
Is there a way to manually send an event of type DND.DragStart into the
application event queue to trigger the operation? My source listener
could then check for the event x, y location to determine whether or not it
should initiate the drag. If it is possible (even if not recommended),
how would this be accomplished? Thank you for your time. Trip Gilman Eclipse Voice Tools Project Lead OpenMethods o| +1.816.283.VXML (8965) x102 c| +1.816.729.0672 f| +1.816.817.0643 This message (including any attachments) contains confidential
