What I need is something that the dropIndicator, that can actually take up space. Right now, I can draw whatever I want on the dropIndicator, but it bleeds over the Items. I'd prefer it to have 10 pixels of padding on the top and bottom, so it "pushes" the Item before and after away from the dropIndicator line with a nice animation.
I know I can make the dragImage whatever I want. But that's just going to be displaying what I'm dragging, not affecting the potential drop zone. Maybe I need to work with temporarily adding a dummy ListItem where the drop zone is going to be? --- In [email protected], Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > The dropIndicator is a simple line showing where the drop will go. > > The dragProxy shows a dragImage that is handed into DragManager that shows an image of what is being dragged.
