Drag & Drop with color cursor

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Rolf,

To use colour cursors, you should make a stack and set its window  
shape to a picture of the cursor you want to use. It is the only way,  
afaik, until someone releases an external for colour cursors or  
RunRev Ltd decides to support native cursors.

For drag and drop, read the docs and have look at some of the  
examples in RevOnline. Some useful information can be found here:  
<http://search.gmane.org/search.php? 
group=gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user&query=drag+and+drop+dragdata>  
and one example here: <http://runrev.info/Long%20File%20Path%20and% 
20.htm>. There is also an example in the 50 Working Scripts in the  
Getting Started section of the docs. It is called "Drag and drop a  
background color onto an object".

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
