Drag & Drop cursor

[mmiele]

Hi All.

Anyone knows if there is a way to hide the drag and drop cursor (the one with the green plus sign) when a dragImage is set (at last on Mac)?
In other world, I'd like to see the dragImage only.

Thanks in advance,
Mario

Buongiorno Mario,

the cursor is actually evoked when you: set the dragaction to "copy"

I don't think you can get rid of that SYSTEM cursor when you use dragstart etc.

Maybe you could script the complete "Drag'n'Drop" behaviour yourself, but you need to ask yourself
is that worth the effort, which is not small?

Hi Klaus,

I have no dragAction setting at all (look at the code below): it seems as it just needs to start the drag action to make the cursor appear.
Anyway you're right, it doesn't worths the effort to rewrite the complete behaviour.
Setting a property (or simple things like that) would be a different matter.

Code: Select all

on mouseDown
   set the dragData["text"] to empty
end mouseDown

on dragStart
   set the dragImageOffset  to the width of the target*0.5,the height of the target *0.5
   set the dragImage to the id of the target
   pass dragStart
end dragStart

ah, OK, sorry, my fault. Looks like any "dragxxxx" things will show the system D'n'D cursor.

Sorry, don't know of any property that would affect this behavior...
