Creating Drag and Drop

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Emilio,

Sorry that this stack could not help you.
In your case, I think that you could use another method I used in  
many projects:
While the mouse is down, you use the mouseMove message in the dragged  
object (or send a message in <some> milliseconds) to track where is  
the mouseLoc (see the mouseStack function and within operator) and  
act accordingly.
If I understand correctly (I am not sure :-), it might be more simple  
if it is always within the same stack window: when the mouse is up,  
you check the mouseLoc, the position of the object, etc.
