Event properties should be thought of as read-only. Drag/Drop events are dispatched by the DragManager so to alter what gets dispatched would probably require a custom DragManager which isn't officially supported. I suppose you could intercept and re-dispatch events using capture phase, stopImmediatePropagation and what not, but it seems like overkill.
Typically, you catch the event, and if you don't want default behavior you call preventDefault(). Since the default behavior is insert, you shouldn't call preventDefault if you want insert, and only if you're going to block the insert and modify the quantity. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of bredwards358 Sent: Friday, June 13, 2008 10:21 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Help me understand custom drag/drop events Shortly after posting an update to my current predicament in this topic thread: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/116030 <http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/116030> and staring at the current logic in my dragDrop event(Shown in above mentioned topic), I realized something. I don't need to do anything else other than modify the default drop event to insert new records into my local database and not have to mess with the for-loop that updates existing items. However, despite looking through(and still looking at) posts on this board and pages in my book, I'm still unsure of how to go about modifying the default drop event (or making a custom one if that's not possible). Basically all I want to do is add a database insert function invocation to the default event. Like I said I'm having trouble understanding where to start so if this sounds vague, let me know so I can help clear this up. A point in the right direction of the breifest of tutorials on making custom drag/drop events, a forum post containing similar subject matter, or an explanation of where to begin would be most helpful.
