Steps: In order to position a picture onto a web canvas, it is necessary to know where it has been clicked before dragging. I thought that was simple : use MouseDown to know that. Unfortunately, as soon as code is entered in MouseDown or MouseMove the control loses the AllowTextDrag or AllowPictureDrag. Stops dragging.
I think it is a bug.
Attached is a modified DragTest example where I added MouseDown to Rectangle1 with simply
System.DebugLog Str(X)
It stopped being draggable.
This is not a bug. The entire drag action must be done in a single synchronous “event”. And before anyone jumps on this… Yes, there are 8 or so events being fired throughout the drag process, but sending the event to the server and getting a response back likely won’t happen quickly enough.
You should, however, file a feature request to get the origin x & y coordinates as part of the WebDragItem.
Would be pretty cool to get this soon. As said in origin discussion drag and drop with images isn’t useful when the preview image does not represent the drop position as a user would expect…
