Re: DragOverEvent issue

JSNI to access the "types" property of the DataTransfer object?

(along with using specific types to distinguish different types of data, rather than inferring from the content for a single type)

OK, thanks for the fast answer Thomas. I guess it's not good news though. Any recommendations on how to distinguish between objects being dragged over a widget using the dragovervent?

I have an issue with DragOverEvent.

At drag start I set my event data to a certain value, as follows:

panel.addDomHandler(new DragStartHandler() {

@Override

public void onDragStart(DragStartEvent event) {

event.setData("text", ResourceWidget.this.resource.getClass().getName());

event.getDataTransfer().setDragImage(panel.getElement(), 10, 10);

                                                ... some more code

}

}, DragStartEvent.getType());

On hover and on drop I test the value of the event data as follows:

campaignMap.addDomHandler(new DragOverHandler() {

@Override

public void onDragOver(DragOverEvent event) {

   event.preventDefault();

   if(event.getData("text") != null) {

                                              (1)  ... some more code

   }

}

}, DragOverEvent.getType());

campaignMap.addDomHandler(new DropHandler() {

@Override

public void onDrop(DropEvent event) {

   event.preventDefault();

   if(event.getData("text") != null) {

                                              (2)  ... some more code

   }

}

}, DropEvent.getType());

The issue is that with the hover event I get always null for my data value whilst for the drop I get the right value, ie (1) is never run and (2) runs.

In the end the drag and drop works, but I would also like to make use of the drag event to display some information based on the value of the data.

Any idea? is this a bug?

Thanks,

Thomas
