Drag and Drop in a locked field

[Bob Sneidar]

Thanks I will give it a go. I have it partially working, but I found if I drag too fast the engine selects another line before dragStart is triggered. Also I had to send dragEnter from the dragStart handler otherwise the process never kicked off. I tried sending dragStart in a mouseDown handler, but that didn't seem to fix it. Weird. This sort of thing should be automatic in the engine IMHO. Seems like a common thing to want to rearrange lines in a list by dragging and dropping.

I read in the Dictionary that LC handles drag and drop between *unlocked* fields automatically. Crud. So I tried unlocking the field on mouseDown and then sending mouseDown again in 0 seconds, but that was a bust. I tried just unlocking the field on mouseDown and locking it on mouseUp but that was problematic too.
