I'm trying to find a way to drag and drop text from a datagrid into a field control. If no text is selected in the field control, the text should be inserted at the insertion point; if text is selected, the dragged text should replace the selected text.
The way I'm doing this is: - The dragStart handler for the datagrid places the text I want to insert into the clipboardData["text"] - The dragEnter handler for the field control sets the focus on the field control - The dragDrop handler for the field control issues a paste command That all works fine when no text is selected in the field control, LC appears to remember where the insertion is in the field control. However, let's say I select some text in the field control. As soon as I click on a line in the datagrid to start the drag/drop operation, the text is no longer selected in the field control and when I drop the text into the field control it is inserted at what was the end point of the text I had originally selected. To illustrate, if the field control contains "This is my Text" and I select the word "my", then drag the text "your" to the field Control, it will be inserted right after "my" instead of replacing it. Am I setting about this the wrong way or can this approach be made to work somehow?
