Hi all, answering to my own email :)
#2. I found out my mistake why the Label doesn't appear on the second window the "event" that it is passed to the dnd_motion is the event referring to the original window and not the target one. So instead of using the event.x, event.y I need to use the root coordinates and I convert them to local ones x = event.x_root - self.winfo_rootx() y = event.y_root - self.winfo_rooty() self.dnd_item.place(x=x, y=y) #1. However I cannot get rid of the #1. I've tried to subclass the DndHandler() especially the on_motion() method to delete the text anchor (dirty hack) after looking at the text.tcl as well deleting the selection and calling the CancelRepeat to avoid the auto-scrolling, but nothing worked ok. Is there a way to tell the Text() to stop the selection? class MyDndHandler(Dnd.DndHandler): def __init__(self, source, event): super().__init__(source, event) anchor = self.source.tk.call("tk::TextAnchor", self.source._w) self.source.mark_unset(anchor) def on_motion(self, event): super().on_motion(event) anchor = self.source.tk.call("tk::TextAnchor", self.source._w) self.source.mark_unset(anchor) # if self.target is not self.source: self.source.tk.call("tk::CancelRepeat") # self.source.tag_remove(tk.SEL, "1.0", tk.END) return "break" def dnd_start(source, event): h = MyDndHandler(source, event) if h.root: return h else: return None Vasilis ________________________________________ From: Tkinter-discuss [tkinter-discuss-bounces+vasilis.vlachoudis=cern...@python.org] on behalf of Vasilis Vlachoudis [vasilis.vlachou...@cern.ch] Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2018 15:27 To: tkinter-discuss@python.org Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] Text drag&drop Hi all, moving from Canvas() to Text() I wanted to re-implement the same drag&drop functionality I have. I created a small test program show my problem(s). I am creating two, Toplevel windows with MyText() inside. The MyText extends the Text and adds a drag&drop. For demonstration I've binded on the Control-Button-1 the starting of the drag action it creates a "floating" Label() with the selected text, which is placed at the mouse position. Now the problems: 1. The selection on the "drag" window keeps changing as I move the mouse. The selection is changing as if there was a grab_set() even if the cursor is on the second window. 2. If I drag the mouse on the second window, despite the Label is created() it doesn't show it. How can I correct those problems?
