Headed List track mouse over for kDrop

[Mike Matthews - Omnis]

Found the property that does what I want.

Still not sure about how to get the black line showing though.

Property called $hiliteline on the list you want to drop onto will show you position of the mouse as you move over the headed list field.

you can tell where the line is going to be dropped in evDrop


dropLine is a local var, integer

on evDrop
  calculate dropLine as mouseover(kmLine)


I’ve done a lot of drag and drop between lists.   I’ve never highlighted the line that its going to be dropped onto because Studio puts a black line between one row and the other on the ‘list you are dropping on’ and does so automatically (at least it does for me in Studio 10.2 through 11.2, which are the only versions of Studio I’m working with at the moment).


If you were to highlight the line in the list where something was to be dropped you would have to
deselect all lines in the list
select the list line at ‘dropLine’
redraw the list.

might make the interface slow.


so, I’d just use the line that is shown automatically by omnis when dropping since it doesn’t change the current line or selected lines not he list you are dropping onto.

Hello All,

I want to drop a line from another headed list into a second one.  As I hover over the second headed list, how do I know where I am, and show where I’m going to either insert/update the line in that second headed list please?

Thanks
