Klaus has a great demo stack in RevOnLine on dragging and dropping a
file on the computer desktop into a field or stack. What I want to
know is how to drag and drop out of a list field onto the desktop.
There is a sample drag and drop in the Rev docs using graphics
objects for dragging the name of a color graphic to another object on
the same card. Essentially the object has the script:
on mouseDown
set the dragData["text"] to the short name of the target
set the borderWidth of the target to 3
end mouseDown
on dragEnd
set the borderWidth of the target to 1
end dragEnd
I have two questions.
1. How do I get the content of the line of text (the one that is
selected) in a list field that I want to drag from?
2. How do I send it outside the stack to the desktop to make a file
on the desktop?
Think the way the Apple and Microsoft Address Books work with
exporting/importing a vCARD file.
