Drag and drop in OutlineView works as if pasting the item while the Node is selected.
To allow dropping onto a Node in an OutlineView, override the createPasteTypes method in the Node implementation. Then add relevant PasteType instances to retPasteTypes. When dropping to areas outside any displayed Node, I believe the root node is used. -- Eirik From: "avaluedcusto...@freenet.de" <avaluedcusto...@freenet.de> Date: Wednesday, March 12, 2025 at 5:11 PM To: NetBeans Mailing List <users@netbeans.apache.org> Subject: Allow dropping files into an OutlineView Hello, I have a NetBeans platform application which uses an OutlineView. It is populated by loading files with a specific format for the application. Currently Drag & Drop is enabled to re-order nodes. I would like to also support dropping files into that OutlineView from the system's file explorer (e.g. Dolphin on KDE) But I can't find a way to tell the outlineview to accept such a drag, and even if I could, I don't know how to react to the drop event. OutlineView uses OutlineViewDropSupport to handle all drag related actions. But that class is final, so I can not extend it. Any suggestions? I am using NetBeans 24.
