Hi,
Welcome to the IOS fold we will try to show you around a bit and perhaps you
will find it enjoyable enough to stay!
REBOL does support drag and drop, but you will find that the controls are
very different than those in other languages. Here is a quick and simple
example
view layout [
size 240x240
style dragbox box 40x40 font-size 11 feel [
engage: func [face action event] [
if action = 'down [
face/data: event/offset
remove find face/parent-face/pane face
append face/parent-face/pane face
]
if find [over away] action [
face/offset: face/offset + event/offset - face/data
]
show face
]
]
dragbox "Box 1" navy
dragbox "Box 2" teal
dragbox "Box 3" maroon
dragbox "Box 4" gold
]
It should be fairly simple to determine if you are dragging on top of another
item (hint: check the offset and the size) As Gregg mentioned I don't know
about the WM_DropFiles, but hey who knows what is possible.
