I have managed to sort out the workings for MY needs, but, I need to
generalize it for reusability. I haven't messed with the drag and drop
of files ONTO the treeview, as of yet, but that would most likely
require drag and drop support for the window itself, with a positive
HitTest on the treeview. (unless this is another of those 5.6 to 5.8
bugs from activestate).

the example, if you can spare the time...

I have two questions. I'm writing an app that helps people to assign files to
categories and lets them
order the files within those categories. I have set my app up to use a
two-level treeview which shows the categories and the files within, like so:
- Category 1
file1
file2
- Category 2
file3
file8
file50
Here are my questions:
1. Can I enable the user to re-order the files
withing the categories by dragging them to a new
location? (i.e. drag file50 so that it is between
file3 and file8.)
2. Can I enable the user to drag an external file to a specific place in the
treeview? At the very least, I'd like to allow the user to drag files into a
specific category.
If anyone has any thoughts on this, I would appreciate your input...

I have been messing with TreeViews Drag and drop
abilites, and here are
some things you might want to consider:
onClick = NodeClick, minus the node which was
clicked,
onMouseUp is hardly ever fired on a fast click, as a
heads up, so using
it for detecting drags may not be the single best
idea.
The built in Drag/Drop doesnt seem to do any good.
my simulation of a drag and drop I can post for you
after I've done some
tweaking, as I am flipping between
DropHilight/Target (why is this
misspelled anyways?) and InsertMark (why is there no
Get? it would be SO
useful)
Give me a day to get you my sample, in the event no
one else has one, as
it looks like a busy night for me.
