Custom DropTarget

[LudovicG]

Hi,

I've been trying to override the standard CEF drag & drop behaviour but couldn't find a way.
Is there any way to define your own custom DropTarget to the component from the browser?
And if not, is there a way to disable the standard drag & drop behaviour completely?

Thank you for the help.
Cheers.

CEF supports standard platform drag&drop APIs. If you want to disable dragging into the browser you can use CefDragHandler.onDragEnter.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I noticed that, but I wasn't able to receive any of the drop events by accessing the UI component as if they were consumed before getting to me.
Should I be handling the drag&drop events using javascript instead?

What are you dragging from? What are you dropping into? Any drag/drop events that originate from or terminate within the browser view can be handled via JavaScript.

Yes you're right I should have been more precise.

I am trying to drag custom data from swing components to inside the browser.
I would've liked to be able to use the swing DropTarget mechanism to handle the drop into the browser UI component but if that's not possible, then javascript will also work.
