Drag and drop problem On Mac OS

Hi guys,
I have a java applet code running well on windows and Linux.it consists of dragging files from a JFileChooser and dropping them to a JTable.
But the drag and drop feature doesn't work on Mac OS platforms.I don't get any errors log .simply files don't get dropped to JTable.
In my code i simply use a TableTransferHandler registered on JTable and then setDragEnabled() for JFileChooser.
What can i do to make my code run correctly on Mac OS ?
thanks for helping

For those interested, I got drag and drop working on the Mac. I got some help on the Apple-Dev forums, but basically, if you want to do your own drag and drop on the Mac OSX, you must have your transfer handler support StringFlavor. If it doesn't, it will not work.

Drag and drop problem on Lion... doesn't work

Hi,
I have had a drag and drop problem since I installed Lion on my computer. I grab a file and by the time i try to drop it on a folder it is not released. This happens in all programs and it is really annoying, finder, iphoto, mail, you name it.
I've tried repairing disk permissions directly from lion and then from the repair disk partition and it has been no good.
Any ideas???

Drag and drop problem from wizard inside another drop

I am using JDK 1.5.0_11 Swing.
I am facing a Drag and Drop problem which is described below:
A drag and drop operation invokes a wizard, from which another wizard is invoked. Within one of the panels of this 2nd wizard, I am trying to do a drag and drop from a JTextarea to a JTree node, but am NOT able to. I am not getting any exceptions. I have written a transfer handler for the JTree node to handle the text transfers from a JTextArea. When I try to do a drag and drop from a JTree node to another JTree node I'm getting the 'InvalidDNDOperation: drag and drop in progress' exception.
When the 2nd wizard is invoked directly, I am able to do the drag and drop from JTextArea to a JTree node and also from a JTree node to another JTree node.
I tried spawning a new thread for the 2nd wizard, but am still unable to initiate drag and drop.
Should I be spawning a new thread for the 1st wizard?

Pls Help! Drag and Drop problem, identical symbols acting differently - same code! WHY?

In the attached file, I have a series of symbols that have a drag and drop command to change colour at different sections of a bullseye, and that are also text editable (html).
However, some of the symbols get stuck and will not be moved after moving once or at all, and some get stuck once their text has been edited.
I have poured over the code and it appears to be the same for each symbol - can anyone explain as to why this is happening?
I also cannot now edit the text properly on the ipad (it is really fiddly to change between different symbols to edit their text -- is there maybe a better way to do this? A button to change between symbols to then edit their text, can you help with this too?)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Hi, I think I undertsand what you mean now, so the code is as below, btu I am not sure what a handler is? but some of my risks still get stuck once the text has been changed on them:

// deleted yepnope since you load with scropt loading
// added pos for each symbol so we can replace them there.

Fix an AIR drag and drop problem.
QE: YES

Modified Paths:
flex/sdk/branches/3.0.x/frameworks/projects/airframework/src/mx/managers/NativeDragManage rImpl.as

Update 2, if it can help someone:
Finally I don't manage the drag and drop by myself using
DragManager.doDrag(...). Why? Because doing so if the user clicks
on the scrollbars, on the datagrid header or on an empty row, it
triggers the drag start and that is ugly. By letting Flex managing
the drag and drop process, this doesn't append. BUT I was unable to
use a custom proxy image then. Until I found this article:
http://www.dgrigg.com/post.cfm/11/03/2006/DataGrid-Drag-Image
The trick is:
1) save the mouseX and mouseY using the mousedown event.
2) override dragImage(), as the article says, to create your
custom proxy, attaching to it a FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE event,
saving it to a class variable and returning it.
3) When you receive the FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE event, you
update the proxy position (that is saved in a class variable) using
the saved mouseX and mouseY and you remove the listener to the
event:
When you drop the proxy, you access the dragged items in :
event.dragSource.dataForFormat("items")
Hope this helps, I spent lot of time trying to resolve this
issue! Now it works perfectly! :-)

Drag and drop problem using NW04 SPS 19

Hi,
we have a problem using drag and drop between two input fields. If i use this functionality i get after some minutes a message "A script on this page is causing IE to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you wan't to abort the script?"
Any idea to solve the problem?
If i try the same functionality on NW04s - it works fine.
Thanks in advance

Drag and drop problem

I have iTunes 10.01.22.
I have a folder on my computer, the folder contains some MP3's of an album. Now normally I can drag and drop the album folder into iTunes and whatever amount of songs are in that folder are then added and shown in iTunes library.
The album folder I am having a problem with has 2 MP3 tracks in it. For some reason or other, I cannot get one of the songs to add to the library (the other song shows up correctly in iTunes). I have tried dragging and dropping the song that won't add separately, but it still does not get added.
I've checked and its definitely an MP3.
I was wondering if anyone has had this problem before and if so did you manage to solve it.
I would appreciate any help and suggestions that you might be able to give me.
Thanks in advance.

I still haven't found a solution (apart from using the workaround I mentioned earlier).
I tried today to drag and drop a mp3 into iTunes and I have the same problem with that particular mp3, strange though how it doesn't affect all mp3's I try to drag and drop.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Drag and Drop Problem 3.0.1

Hi,
I upgraded from 3.0 to 3.0.1.

On "Next" session the item's names are modified
blank char to"%20", "à" to "%C3%A0"
for example
prod id --> prod%20Id
Località-->Localit%C3%A0
Has anybody hit this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Windows 7 64bit iTunes 11.1.4 Up Next Drag and Drop Problem

OS: Windows 7 64bit
iTunes version; 11.1.4
Problem: In the normal iTunes window dragging and dropping songs in the Up Next menu gives no real-time feedback of items being moved or the list being scrolled. If I attempt to drag and drop then the window updates itself as if it had scrolled, but I get no visual feedback during this process.
I can confirm that Up Next operates as expected while using the Mini Player (either reduced or expanded), but the main window does not.

Doublechecking. Do you still get that particular issue if you update to iTunes version 11.1.5.5.

[Ask] Drag and Drop Problem

Hello all, i'm a new member here, and i just installed Adobe Flash Professional CS6 on my computer. I want to make a simple quiz with drag and drop feature in it. I want to drag Square A (Square_1) from the first position marked with "STAR" into the white square (Target_1), i've already made the script, but everytime i drop the square A on the white square (Target_1), it won't fit exactly on the white square (Target_1). I use this script to make drag and drop with target working :
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
Square_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickMe);
Square_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropMe);
function pickMe(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.startDrag(true);
    startX = event.target.x;
    startY = event.target.y;
function dropMe(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.stopDrag();
    var myTargetName:String = "target" + event.target.name;
    var myTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName(myTargetName);
    if (event.target.dropTarget != null && event.target.dropTarget.parent == Target_1){
        event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickMe);
        event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropMe);
        event.target.buttonMode = false;
        event.target.x = Target_1.x;
        event.target.y = Target_1.y;
    } else {
        event.target.x = startX;
        event.target.y = startY;
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

if A and that white square both had reg points in their centers or both at the upper left, you would not have a problem. as it is with the white square with upper left reg point and A with center reg point, you can use:
event.target.x = Target_1.x+Target_1.width/2;
        event.target.y = Target_1.y+Target_1.height/2;
but it would be better to use consistant reg points throughout your app.

thanks!
EDIT: after a gtk2 update, this problem disappears. thanks all!!!

Yes, there is another thread on this, and a bug report. Also, about two hours ago, a gtk2 2.10.6-2 was submitted. We'll see if that fixes the issue, when the mirrors have synced

Drag and drop problems in 10.7.2

Hello!
I´ve a MacBook pro 13" with stock 10.7.2, when I drag and drop several files, the shadow of the files freeze on the screen, and there´s no way to remove them other than force quit the Finder. It´s quite annoying.
Any idea on this?
Best Regards.
Fernando

Just found a reference to a work around to the issue by putting the macbook to sleep & waking it. Worked a treat !
This makes it usable again. Which is lucky as I was preparing to see how far I could toss the macbook !
Suppose I'll need to wait for a patch.

Drag and Drop Problem, Drag Enter not getting called - Need Help

While doing drag and drop on the nodes of JTRee dragGestureRecognized method is getting called,
but after that no method is getting called, not even dragEnter.
I am using TreePath as the Transferrable Object.
public void dragGestureRecognized(DragGestureEvent gestureEvent)
           Point point=gestureEvent.getDragOrigin();
          TreePath path=sourceTree.getPathForLocation((int)point.getX(),(int)point.getY());
           transferable = new TransferableTreePath( path );
          source.startDrag(gestureEvent,DragSource.DefaultMoveNoDrop, transferable, this);
          System.out.println("Drag Gesture Recognized method over");
     }

you're most welcome, Jon, and it's this board, which 'animates' me to do it that way and this way, and find out the differences..
but, indeed: the 'settings' of a photo should be 'accessible' in both ways..
' cause, in MY workflow in iMHD6 or FCE, I FIRST import the video, and more important: the audio-track, which I 'spice up' with additional footage, as stills...
.. but I've never done that in iM08, which is for my projects still in 'experimental use'...- (I LOVE those picture settings, de-saturating clips etc....), I get used to the many audio-layers in FCE ...
... and: lately, tought some iMovie-beginners (a photographer and a print-designer), with zil background knowledge of any iMovie version, the first steps with iM08... they want to use it to 'glue' some impressions together, they shoot while doing their photo-jobs.. and they were very impressed and excited!... +sooooo easy+ ... yepp, the User Experience IS breathtaking, awesome, groundbraking
