I am trying to drag and drop over a TabNavigator -- ie drag something over a "tab" to have it open that tab   I'd be curious to know how this drag and drop idea improves upon clicking the tab and then dropping inside the open tab?   Are you trying to do two things at once - replacing click plus drop with a single drop if the tab isn't already open?   Personally I think it sounds dangerous. If you drop target is inside an open tab, then all well and good, but dropping onto the unopened tab itself is prone to having the user drop onto the wrong tab, which isn't too user friendly. I also think it's a behaviour likely to confuse the users. I don't think I've ever seen an application behave like this - it doesn't follow the tab metaphor.   If I've got the wrong idea please tell me!   Paul Am I overloooking something really simple ?
