Re: How's Drag and Drop Working for You?

Drag and drop is working well for me on Windows XP and Mac OS X. I
suspect that my method is old, however. I bought a newer Swing book
and, apparently, there is a much simpler way to do it now.

The user is presented with a tree of contacts (like in an address book)
and when they click on one, the person or companies information appears
in the right-hand pane. The user can drag any node in the tree to any
other node in the tree to make the dragged node a child of the node
they dropped it on.

I created my own Transferable object and it contains a
DefaultMutableTreeNode. I then wrote a class that extends JTree and has
a Drag Source, Gesture, and Target listener and can handle scrolling
during a drag. It's been a while, but I believe I followed a chapter in
the O''Reilly Swing book to get this working.
