Hi,
Is it possible to turn a drag handled by a DragEditPartsTracker into a
(native) drag and drop operation?
In my GEF editor, I want to be able to move shapes around, but at the same
time, I would like to be able to drag shapes out of my editor into a drop
target, for example a JFace table viewer.
My current solution requires the user to press the shift key before starting
a drag&drop operation. If you implement DragSourceListener.dragStart() such
that it sets event.doit to false when the shift key is not pressed, the drag
will be handled as a normal move request. I'm not very happy with this
solution since it's not intuitive for the users to press the shift key
before starting a cross-editor drag.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Boris.

You can use native DND all the time. You will be restricted to DND
limitations, for example, the cursor cannot be controlled.
At least on Motif the users can just press the middle mouse button ;-)

Can I still show feedback (the blueish rectangles) while dragging within the
GEF editor? If yes, what would be the appropriate way to do this, or is
there an example which does this already?
Thanks,
Boris.
