How to drag and drop multi tabs to a new tab group?
When I go to the new feature Tab Groups (shift+ctrl+E), I make a search then some tabs are highlighted but I would like to drag and drop to a new group the highlighted tabs all together not just one by one. Is it possible doing a multi-drag&drop with the CTRL+left mouse button?
I see where you're going. I'm drawn to Thunderbird because it puts open emails in separate tabs, which makes finding a particular open message easier than searching the task bar for an open outlook message. I do see your point that tab happy programmers, probably too young to remember how cool we thought drag and drop was when it first came out, don't think much of it. As with a lot of software, each programmer has a very limited view of how it their program should be used vs how it is actually used in the wild.
People work in different ways. When I schedule an appointment with a client, this is often preceded by a series of emails related to whatever the client wants to discuss. I drag and drop those messages into the appointment window so that on the date of the appointment, I have a nice neat summary of the issues right there in the appointment window. I could use workarounds (save email and then attach to the appointment), but that's like a trip back to Windows 3.0 and it's, if I'm not mistaken, 30+ years later. I guess I'll continue to use Tbird for email and outlook for calendar, not my preferred solution, I'd like to flip MS the bird and cut all ties to outlook, and was hoping Tbird was the solution. Not yet, and perhaps not ever, based on your thoughts.

How to drag and drop tab nodes between tab panes
I'm working on example from this tutorial( Drag-and-Drop Feature in JavaFX Applications | JavaFX 2 Tutorials and Documentation ). Based on the tutorial I want to drag tabs between two tabs. So far I managed to create this code but I need some help in order to finish the code.
Source
tabPane = new TabPane();
Tab tabA = new Tab();
Label tabALabel = new Label("Main Component");
tabPane.setOnDragDetected(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
@Override
public void handle(MouseEvent event)
/* drag was detected, start drag-and-drop gesture*/
System.out.println("onDragDetected");
/* allow any transfer mode */
Dragboard db = tabPane.startDragAndDrop(TransferMode.ANY);
/* put a string on dragboard */
ClipboardContent content = new ClipboardContent();
content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane);
db.setContent(content);
event.consume();
What is the proper way to insert the content of the tab as object? Into the tutorial simple text is transferred. How I must modify this line content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane);?
And what is the proper way to insert the tab after I drag the tab:
Destination
tabPane.setOnDragDropped(new EventHandler<DragEvent>()
@Override
public void handle(DragEvent event)
/* data dropped */
/* if there is a string data on dragboard, read it and use it */
Dragboard db = event.getDragboard();
boolean success = false;
if (db.hasString())
//tabPane.setText(db.getString());
Tab tabC = new Tab();
tabPane.getTabs().add(tabC);
success = true;
/* let the source know whether the string was successfully
* transferred and used */
event.setDropCompleted(success);
event.consume();
I suppose that this transfer can be accomplished?
Ref javafx 2 - How to drag and drop tab nodes between tab panes - Stack OverflowI would use a graphic (instead of text) for the Tabs and call setOnDragDetected on that graphic. That way you know which tab is being dragged. There's no nice way to put the Tab itself into the dragboard as it's not serializable (see https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-29082), so you probably just want to store the tab currently being dragged in a property.
Here's a quick example; it just adds the tab to the end of the current tabs in the dropped pane. If you wanted to insert it into the nearest location to the actual drop you could probably iterate through the tabs and figure the coordinates of each tab's graphic, or something.

How to drag and drop another swf or fla into a template?
I am building a flash website for a friend. We are using templates he purchased at flashden.net.
I normally use wordpress, joomla and other such systems and am familiar with html, php, cgi and such.
This is my first time dealing with a flash template.
I have downloaded the trial version of the software and he wants to purchase adobe flash professional for me
So that we can edit the template and add features he wants in the future.
The website that sells the templates says you can easily drag and drop addons to templates in flash
but I am not finding it so easy. Is there somewhere online where I can find a tutuorial on how to step by step
drag and drop flash files into another template etc.?
Also, where can I find good tutorials in general? I have downloaded adobe flash for dummies it is not as indepth as I need
to get a handle on this software.
Thank you to anyone that offers me any advice,
David DohertyNed,
Thank you for responding.
Flashden.net does claim its a simple drag and drop operation to do this but they have little to know information on the site about the subject and
having difficulty with the sellers on step by step instructions. They claim it's easy it may be.
The person I am building the website for had a bad experience with one of the sellers who refused to offer anything but basic instructions and claimed the cost of the software was not worth his time.
Here are the instructions that were provided:
Open news_rotator.fla
Go to library.
Select and copy NewsRotator movie clip.
Paste it into your own project’s library.
Now, you can drag and drop it into your own movie clips.
Use news.xml to add/remove headlines.
As you can see from what your telling me this is insufficent information on how to drag and drop this flash into another flash template.
I will attempt to contact other selers at flashden for information as I have other flash templates we have purchased.
Thank you,
David Doherty -

How to drag and drop a picture at run time in a window displaying pictures?
How to drag and drop a picture at run time in a window displaying pictures on the front panel. The main thing is that the window is displaying frames continuously?
vivman,
So from your description you have a picture control where you've already created an image and you'd like to drag an image around inside of the picture control. This can be done although it is going to take a significant amount of research and programming on your behalf. You can use the drag event in the event handler to find out when the drag occurs and where the cursor is. Then edit the picture as you move your mouse so that when you drop the picture gets updated.
The even structure is a somewhat advanced topic and the drag and drop feature is one of the more advanced uses of this structure. I would search the example finder (help>>find examples) for "event" and "drag" to see how to use these events. Also you'll want to look at the examples for the picture control.
Sounds like a cool project! Check out Darren's Weekly Nugget 10/30/2006 this topic (http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=212920). It might prove useful.

How to drag and drop text from one listbox to another
I have a listbox of options(text) and would like to drag and drop each selection into a new listbox, one at a time. Then programatically highlight the selections in the new listbox as events happen.
Hello Zoltan,
I do not believe that kind of option is built into the listboxes, but I was able to have similiar functionalities using property nodes. I have included an example program that I put together.
The big difference is that instead of dragging, you double click on the item you want to transfer. To highlight items as you go down the list, all you need to do is set the value to that list number.
Hope this helps you out!

HT1386 Where do you drag and drop playlists onto iphone in new itunes
Where do you drag and drop playlists onto iphone in new itunes
I don't blame this person whatsoever for making the assumption that the iPod portion of his phone would work similarily, if not the same, as the iPod.
But it does work the same as the iPod. As with an iPod, you can sync all songs and playlists, or selected playlists, or you can manually manage music and videos. You can also select sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab and uncheck the songs in your iTunes library that you don't want transferred to your iPhone. This can be used with syncing selected playlists - if you want to remove a song from your iPhone that is in a selected playlist without removing the song from the playlist in iTunes, you uncheck the song in the playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. There is no difference with an iPod in this regard except for the iPhone not supporting disk mode.
In order to manually manage music and videos with an iPod, you must select this under the Summary tab for the iPod sync preferences, and the same for the iPhone.
And if you resent his rant, why respond and waste your volunteer time on this post?
I can waste my time anyway I see fit. If you don't like it, don't respond.
And not everyone can afford to replace this type of investment on a whim.
Copied from the OP's post.
Don't tell me it's clicking on the boxes next to the songs in the Library page, *because that's when I will start asking for my money back...*
Or the iPhone can be sold to someone else with the proceeds used to purchase a different phone. I haven't read any reports about someone having trouble selling their iPhone used at a good price even if damaged. -

How to drag and drop events across months while in month view?
Is there a way to drag an event across months when the view is set to monthly view? I know the events can be dragged and dropped across the days in the month on the screen, but how can I carry through the end of the month - there does not seem to be a way to move the screen view to the next month while the event is being dragged!
Hi,
You can do it with keyboard shortcuts.
Select the event. Press Cmd+X. Press Cmd and right or left arrow (depending if it is forward or back in months) until you are in the correct month. Press Cmd+V to pase on the same day in the new month.
Best wishes

How to drag and drop files in Time Machine Capsule?
Hi, all
I have recently bought a Time Machine 2 TB. I have backed up my MacBook Air over the Time Machine. I was trying to copy or drag and drop files in the time capsule, but it wont allow me. It Neither does allow me to create any new folders in the Airport Time Machine. If i try to drag and drop files in it, it says, click to Authenticate, however, there is no place or tab to authenticate. I am the administrator.
Please advise.
ThanksIt sounds like you are trying to copy / paste files to the Time Capsule Finder icon, when you should be copying / pasting to the drive on the Time Capsule, which is named "Data" unless you have changed it.
Open any Finder window and look for the Time Capsule icon under the Shared heading on the left side of the window
Click on the Time Capsule, which will display a folder to the right named Data, unless you have changed the name of the drive
Double-cllick on Data to mount the drive on the desktop
You can drag / drop or copy / paste files onto the drive icon, or open the drive and drag files into the open window.
The first time that you do this, you may be asked for the Time Capsule device or disk password. -
