the dragdestination wierdness

[Bob Sneidar]

Hi Trevor. 

That throws an error. The DragDestination returns the long id of the INSTANCE of the template, or so it seems to me. Only the last column is returning the long id of the TEMPLATE field itself. In no case do any of the returned fields have the property dgColumn. 

I can get the dgColumn of the target, but that does not return the actual row I dropped on, but only the column itself. I tried to get the dgRow of the target, but of course that didn't work because the target is a column. 

I am going to have to play around some more. I am not sure I am getting this. Thanks for the reply. BTW here is my code: 

on dragStart
   put the dgDataControl of the target into theDataControl
   
   ## Watch out for dragging on the header
   if theDataControl is empty then pass dragStart
   
   ## Get Data Grid index of control that was clicked on
   put the dgDataControl of the target into theTargetLongID
   put the dgIndex of the dgDataControl of the target into theIndex
   
   ## Tell Data Grid to set the dragImage to the row 
   ## that theIndex is associated with
   set the dgDragImageIndex of me to theIndex
   
   ## Set the dragData["private"] so that drag operation
   ## begins
   set the dragData["private"] to the short name of theDataControl
    
   set the dgTrackDragReorder[theIndex] of me to true
   put theIndex & return & the dragData["private"]
end dragStart
   
on DragDrop
   put the dragDestination into theDestination
   put dragData["private"] & return & the short name of theDestination & return & the dgColumn of the target 
end DragDrop  


When I drag from column 1 to column 1 on a different row I get this:
PriFields 0001
PriFields 0002
PriFields 


When I drag from any column to the LAST row I get this:
PriFields 0001
_ColumnData_
SecFields
