I'm still wondering whether this is the right way to go. When dragging/dropping text in word processing apps, the dragged text doesn't disappear -- it changes position when the mouse is released. When reordering a layers in a graphics package (Adobe/Macromedia) the original dragged layer stays where it is until the mouse is released. iTunes follows suit as well -- keep the original until the mouse is released. Perhaps the type of application dictates how this should be handled but so far I haven't seen any examples of removing the clicked line from the field. Any examples out there that remove the clicked line when reordering? > The only other thing I would like is > the ability to cancel a drag somehow - perhaps if you move the mouse > pointer outside the field. Yes, that should be next. Recently, Frank D.

It should be quite doable, but the copying part will be up to you as the developer. :-) I can make the clicked line a property or variable that you can pass to whatever object you have.
