CreationTools and TemplateTransferDropTargetListeners [message #118592] Fri, 20 February 2004 16:14 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm using CombinedTemplateCreationEntries in my palette, and it occurs to
me that CreationTools and TemplateTransferDropTargetListeners accomplish
the same function. They send CreateRequests to a container when the user
wants to create a new component. Am I missing something?

I'm using the 20040212 version, and addDropTargetListener() is deprecated
for EditPartViewers. However, if I delete the method call, my editor
won't create new components. Should I be replacing
addDropTargetListener() with anything currently available?

Thanks.

Matt

No, that's the whole point. Different users can interact with the diagram
differently, and from your editpart's point-of-view there is no difference.

We were too strong with some of the @deprecated tags. Basically, you should
use the jface.dnd package when appropriate, but, for compatibility, our
already-existing adapters are still typed as gef.dnd, so it is OK to
continue using them. Pick up our M7 build and let me know if you still get
deprecation warnings.
