Re: [ql-users] drag&drop

@ Dilwyn
The easy alternative is to make a 'text' sprite which is made into the
pointer sprite when the item to be dragged is text. This could be as
simple as a sprite which looks like the letters 'TEXT' with a black
border around it! (This is what I do in my programs).
That's not what I mean. I mean a sprite made out of a string, got out of a
list of strings by "MTEXT$" for example.
The format of blobs and patterns are documented in pages 107-109 of
the QPTR guide. Unfortunately, I never had much success using them
with Easyptr and I don't know why.
Me neither

Reading text items from the screen is not very easy as .......
That's not what I want to do

@Wolfgang
Do yo want to make a string into a sprite on the fly?
Yes, I thought, I wrote that ;-)
This would be a rather non trivial task!
That's what I was afraid of.
What would be the problem when trying to do this?
