Unable to complete drag and drop; items stick to cursor.

Basically I am having the exact same issue as, http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1372514&start=0&tstart=0 .
Sometimes when attempting to drag and drop an item the item will not drop and just become stuck to the cursor, across applications. The only way to drop the item seems to be force quitting Finder, or sometimes just mashing the Esc key.
I've had this issue on 10.6.5, and 10.6.6. A fresh install did not rectify the problem. What is incredibly annoying is the issue just comes and goes. The only thing I can narrow it down to is a Wacom driver for my Intuos. As far as I can remember this issue only started after installing that driver.
Has any one else experienced this behaviour, and do you have a Wacom Intuos?

it seems there is no way.
See note 1797073
Is there someone with a better solution?

Drag and Drop Item Sticking

I'm creating a drag and drop game for grades K-2 and two of
my pieces stick to the mouse when clicked. I'm not sure what the
problem is as I've used the same code for all of my pieces.
The pants1_mc and the glasses_mc are the problems.

I think the problem might also be that you are listening for
the Mouse Up on each of your draggable items. Instead you should
register just one listener on the stage so that if the pointer
isn't over your drag when you release it still will be able to
"dropIt".
My guess would be that the pants and the glasses are a shape
where when you stuck the pointer to the registration point (with
the true inside the startDrag) the pointer wasn't actually over a
pixel of the artwork. The other shapes weren't like that.
So removing the true might work for you here, but what if you
wanted the true? Or what if you were going to constrain the
dragging to a specific area and it was possible that the pointer
would move off the artwork. You would have this problem again.
So I would add to the pickUp function:
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,dropIt);
event.target.startDrag()
Then inside the dropIt function
removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,dropIt);
stopDrag();
Finally you won't need each of the individual dropIt
registrations in your main code.

I have an external hard drive that I have been using for years. All of a sudden my mac will not recognize the external as a "save as" device location. But the external does show up on my desktop and I can open it to drag and drop items. Help.

Drag and Drop items among JList

Hi,
I want to drag item from one JList and drop into another JList using JFrame in java Swing. Please provide me code for this.
Thanks
Nitin

You need to implement a drag-and-drop (dnd) behaviour between your swing components.
Like most programming tasks it looks harder than it really is. Basically you need a DragSource and a DropTarget with a Transferable object in between. This Transferable object is the object from your list.
Here is Sun's tutorial on it... http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/dnd/
Good luck.

Drag and Drop Items

Dear all APEX developers,
i have a problem when rearranging items in the drag and drop layout and press next i get the following error:
report error:
ORA-29262: bad URL
anyone can help?
Best Regards
Ahmed

I remember that I fixed a bug in that area for our 4.0 release. So with 4.0 you shouldn't get this kind of error. What I remember the error occurs if you have special characters in the labels of the page items.

I would love to be able to drag and drop items from one page to another from the plan window. Is that possible?

In desiging my website, I would like to be able to move items from one page to another by dragging and dropping from the plan architecture screen. It might also help if the window could have a zoom in and out feature to facilitate that.

I just tried zooming in the plan window and discovered it works.

How to drag and drop item from list to another item in list and change their positions

I have a list field with multiple items. I want to select one item from list and drag and drop to another item in the list
after drop item on another item the position of items should be change. (Example:- if I select 1st item from list and drag and drop this item to 4th item in list after drop that item position of both item should be changed 1st item on 4th position and 4th item on 1st position)
I don't know how to do this.Please help me to find the solution.

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!

Drag and Drop Items in Reminders

I'm disappointed that you can't drag and drop lists in the Reminders app to change the order they appear. Also it's not possible to drag and drop reminders within lists. Any possibility of adding this feature in a future release?

Unable to use "drag and drop function" from outlook

We are changing from Lotus to outlook and this has made a problem with getting pdf-files into OAWD directly .
Procedure was like this in Lotus
1. We get documents (FI, F-43, aso ) by email
2. We use OAWD function "drag and drop" , document is attached to a document type and workflow is triggered
3. We pick up documents from Business workplace , handle the document and send it to the approver (who earlier got it directly in their mailbox "lotus")
so far so good , everything worked well
Unfortunately we changed to outlook, non attached files can be "drag and dropped" into OAWD (I understand the part about outlook is showing links instead of "real" pdf and know this is part of the problem)
My question, it can not be possible that we have to manually save the documents/attached files from outlook into "desktop" to later use the drag and drop function?
I have read about the programms to solve problem , ex "inPuncto", but our experts says there will be problem with connector to workflow from OAWD.
I have my greatest doubts about that because this must be really two diffrent moduls, one for converting from outlook and the other must be unchange (undependent of the earlier procedure). SAP can not know from what program the documents will be dragged?
Suggestion about some OAWD-adaptor ?
Any suggestions about great solutions ?

it seems there is no way.

Drag and drop items to document librarys in outlook

Hi guys,
I've seen other post regarding this but there was no answer for the practice drag-and-drop e-mails or documents to documents librarys inside outlook ??
can someone help me pls ?
thanks in advance

The best way to do this so that it is easy for your end users is to:
Step 1
Create a drag and drop folder location for SharePoint Online e-mails
1.       Go to your SharePoint Online shared documents location
2.       Create the folder structure that you want for your e-mail storage
3.       Click on your top folder
4.       Click on Actions
5.       Open with Windows Explorer
6.       In the address bar at the top of the Explorer Window copy the address
Step 2
Go to Start, Computer
1.       Click on Map Network Drive
2.       Paste the address copied above into the Folder box
3.       Check Reconnect at logon
4.       Take note of the drive letter given or choose a drive letter
*note these instructions are for Windows 7 – you can search help for Map Network Drive for the OS you are using
Step 3
Open Notepad
1.       Type in the following:
“explorer z:” (leave out the quotation marks and enter the drive letter in step 2
2.       Click File
3.       Click Save As
4.       File name OpenEmail.bat
·         Note the file name does not matter but the .bat has to be there
·         Save to the Desktop
When a user wants to open the SharePoint location that stores e-mail they double click on OpenEmail.bat and it will open in an Explorer view which will allow for e-mails to drag and drop from Outlook into the folder.

Open XML Drag and Drop Items Save XML

Im very new to Flex and really have only gone through the
lynda.com tutorials but I don't really know where to begin doing
something like this. I have a requirement as a desktop app. I have
to open an xml file that defines a series of objects we'll go with
the vegetable approach....
I want to store different properties of the object for
different sources...so one app might want to know color, weight and
origin another app might only want to know color and weight
so if the xml looks like this
<vegetable>
<color/>
<weight/>
<origin/>
</vegetable>
I want to load it in some sort of list control or grid and
then drag the weight property into a 'vegetable builder' area. once
there I want to be able to edit the attributes of the node so in my
vegetable builder area perhaps right click the weight property
which has an attribute 'unitofmeasure' that could be assinged the
value 'metric'
once done click a button that either outputs the xml as
string or allows the user to save the xml which would walk the list
nodes in the builder area that then output
<vegetable>
<weight unitofmeasure="metric"/>
</vegetable>
Does this make any sense...can you point me in a
direction?

Look into the methods available for manipulating your
data-the xml data provider.
For example the XMLListCollection offers: addItem, addItemAt,
getItemAt, removeAll, removeItemAt, etc. The Collection also offers
a cursor you can use to easily navigate through the data provider.
These methods will allow you to add new data to your data
provider.

Can not re-order (drag-and-drop) items in Google My Maps

In Google's "My Maps" there is a column on the left hand side of all of your locations. In the Edit mode, you should be able to drag them to re-order them. This works fine in IE, Chrome, etc. And it WORKED prior to Firefox 4.
It DOES NOT WORK in Firefox 4.
I would like to know why.
Thanks

Number of "rows" displayed for Drag and Drop items

Where do I set the number of rows displayed in my databound objects in UIX/ADF/Struts (Tables, LOV, searches, etc...)? I remember this being an option in the Preview, but I just can't find it now.

Mike,
do you mean the range size?
Select the UIModel.xml file and open the Structure window. Select the RowSetIterator and open the Property Inspector.
