gui toolkit drag and drop of WIDGETS
by xahodo from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5B41B)
For a program I'm looking to develop I need to be able to allow the user to add/remove/reorganize widgets.
I checked both fltk and qt and, while they do have drag and drop functionality available, that functionality seems to only be available to data contained in widgets and not the widgets themselves.
Now, I could just respond to the left mouse button down event and manually follow the mouse around with the widget, but would it be possible to move a widget from one container to another (no need to change from one window to another, just another box) or would mouse down automatically trigger the drag event on the data the widget holds?
I do like fltk's simplicity, but does that simplicity affect its usability?
