Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 74442
extending/customizing drag and drop functionality of OOoBean doesn't work
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:08:52 UTC
I’m currently working on a Proof of Concept that uses the OOoBean and creates a writer view inside an eclipse RCP, which seems to work fine - with some exceptions ;-). At this point I’m struggling with the ability to customize the drag & drop functionality. More precisely I would like to drag some java object from one of the views and drop it inside the writer view. If this object is represented as pure text this is working as the normal behaviour of Writer. When it is some specific java object, this is blocked as expected because Writer doesn’t support the object. When I try to register another DropTargetListener (implemententing the XDropTargetListener interface) I would expect to be able to extend the capabilities of Writer to accept custom objects. However, this doesn't work... The DropTargetListener doesn't receive any event with the exception of the dispose event. Considering the source code of openoffice it looks like this should work.

Reassigned to component "api".

adapt status to reflect accepted status. But of course it doesn't mean that i am able to work on it.
jsc -> tkr: if we will continue to work on the bean we can take of this
