ListView/ListIcon and correct using of Drag'n'Drop (move)?

[Andre]

Hello everyone,

I'm loosing my hair to find out, why the following use of EnableGadgetDrop() doesn't fire the needed #PB_EventType_DragStart event, when using it in my larger project source.

So anyone knows about restrictions / needed circumstances to have the Drag'n'Drop (move mode) to be supported in Listview / ListIcon gadgets?

The following code example works as expected, but in my large project it doesn't... See below!

Code: Select all

Here are some code snippets taken from my source...

Gadget definition (the gadget items are added/removed on the fly during the program flow):

Code: Select all

        gad = ListViewGadget(#PB_Any, x, y, 200, fontheight*8, #PB_ListView_ClickSelect)    
        EnableGadgetDrop(gad, #PB_Drop_Private, #PB_Drag_Move, 1)

Part of the Main event loop, where the related EventType is already checked directly after WindowEvent() for testing. But the requested EventType #PB_EventType_DragStart neither happens.... (not here, and not a bit later in the "regular" Select : Case : EndSelect block for processing all window+gadget events:

Code: Select all

Repeat
  Event = WindowEvent()   ; WaitWindowEvent()
  EventGadget	= EventGadget()
  EventMenu	  = EventMenu()
  EventWindow = EventWindow()
  EventType   = EventType()
  
  If Event = #PB_Event_Gadget And Eventtype = #PB_EventType_DragStart  
    Debug "Drag'n'Drop started..."
          DragItem = GetGadgetState(EventGadget)
          DragPrivate(1, #PB_Drag_Move)
  EndIf

  ....

Did anyone of noticed similar effects?
(I'm currently coding on MacOS 10.5.8 - but it should be the same on Windows too...)

Thanks a lot for advice!

Hi Andre,

what happend if you remove #PB_ListView_ClickSelect from the ListviewGadget()

Because when I add it in the working example, it results in a strange behaviour.

Bernd

Btw.: In the german help it is not written that the ListViewGadget() reacts on a DragStart event.
Only
#PB_EventType_LeftClick
#PB_EventType_LeftDoubleClick
are listed.

Hi Bernd, thanks for your answer!

what happend if you remove #PB_ListView_ClickSelect from the ListviewGadget()

Because when I add it in the working example, it results in a strange behaviour.

Yes, I tried removing this flag. It doesn't change anything in my project source.

But adding it to the example above work without any problems for me (MacOS 10.5..

Btw.: In the german help it is not written that the ListViewGadget() reacts on a DragStart event.
Only
#PB_EventType_LeftClick
#PB_EventType_LeftDoubleClick
are listed.

Yes, I noticed this too.
But as there are several example using a listview are flying around on the PB forums, I thought it's supported (like the example above proofs) and just not documented yet.... !?

I also tried deactivating the complete listicon-related code in the example above. But then the drag'n'drop in the listview still works. So in general there seems to be no limit of Drag'n'Drop using a listview gadget.

Edit: I have also tried to replace my currently used listview with a listicon gadget, and also calling the EnableGadgetDrop() command after each AddGadgetItem(), just in case the change of listview items changes anything to the (already enabled) Drag'n'Drop support.... no matter what I do, there isn't fired the needed EventType of a started Drag operation

In general I'm lost with the not fired "Drag event" in my project, while all example codes work without any problem.
I just don't know, where the problem is and don't find any mistake made by me (as you can see in the code snippets).
So I'm now asking, if there are any circumstances known, when/why some events are catched/lost? Or if any code-related action "overwrites" the enabled Drag'n'Drop support....

[Andre]

This problem is driving me crazy....

Today I tried adding the Drag'n'Drop support to another gadget in the main window, which is handled with a fixed gadget number (instead of #PB_Any created ones like for all gadgets in the other windows of the program). But this doesn't change anything - also for this gadget the dragging event isn't recognized by the event loop.

The related code snippets are:

Code: Select all

  ListIconGadget(#Gadget_ContinentList, #Left, y, #PanelWidth, PanelHeight*0.12, Language("ContinentList"), #PanelWidth-23+#GUI_ListIconColumnAdjust, #PB_ListIcon_FullRowSelect|#PB_ListIcon_AlwaysShowSelection)
  EnableGadgetDrop(#Gadget_ContinentList, #PB_Drop_Private, #PB_Drag_Move, 1)

(using this ListIcon gadget flags I tried with the example code above - there they work successfully. So it could be no problem of them)

And this are the related parts of the main event loop in my project source:

Code: Select all

;- MAIN event loop
Repeat
  Event = WindowEvent() 
  EventGadget	= EventGadget()
  EventMenu	  = EventMenu()
  EventWindow = EventWindow()
  EventType   = EventType()
  
  If Eventtype = #PB_EventType_DragStart  
    Debug "Drag'n'Drop started..."
          DragItem = GetGadgetState(EventGadget)
          DragPrivate(1, #PB_Drag_Move)
  EndIf
    
  Select Event
    Case 0
      Delay(1)
      
    Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow 
      ....

    Case #PB_Event_Gadget
    
        Debug "We now pass the EventType check for Drag'n'Drop support..."
        Debug "Eventtype: " + Str(EventType)
      If Eventtype = #PB_EventType_DragStart  
        Debug "Drag'n'Drop started..."
        DragItem = GetGadgetState(EventGadget)
        DragPrivate(1, #PB_Drag_Move)
      EndIf
        
      Select EventGadget
         
        Case #Gadget_Quit
          ....

        Case #Gadget_ContinentList
          ....

  EndSelect
ForEver

Furthermore I tried replacing the "Event = WindowEvent()" with "Event = WaitWindowEvent()", but this make no change.
In both cases of the "If Eventtype = #PB_EventType_DragStart" check there is never the needed event for a started Drag operation catched.

How could this be?
Do you know any circumstances, when and why gadget events are getting lost during program flow?

I even checked the whole program code for

Code: Select all

  While WindowEvent() : Wend

snippets.
But they only appear in some special cases, when the program should wait for gadget refresh while filling gadget items, etc. But it never affects the main event loop of the program.

So I have no idea anymore how to solve this problem

Is this only happening on Mac?
I've got no idea why it's not working only thing I could think of trying is changing the drag n drops group number

[Andre]

Is this only happening on Mac?

At the moment I'm only developing on MacOS, so haven't tried the project source on Windows yet...

I've got no idea why it's not working only thing I could think of trying is changing the drag n drops group number

I've tried changing the number at EnableGadgetDrop() and DragPrivate() from 1 to 2 for the gadget #Gadget_ContinentList, but that doesn't change anything.

[idle]

ok but did you try it so the number isn't conflicting with any of your gadget constants or enumerations?
I doubt it'll make any difference but who knows!

[ts-soft]

I use always WaitWindowEvent(100) on linux and Mac.
And you should remove the delay in eventloop, that is not
a good idea

[Demivec]

@Andre: I am getting some problems with your first code sample (the one that should work), with windows (x86). I can drag a few times from the ListIconGadget to the ListViewGadget without a problem. If I then try to drag things in the opposite direction the drag isn't completed and everything stops responding. This doesn't happen right at the first and it may not be allowed intentionally by the code.

I haven't debugged it enough to find the cause yet.

Sorry for the longer delay... yesterday I finished the Drag'n'Drop implementation in my GeoWorld project, using the code shown here with some further enhancements.

The good one is: all is working fine on MS Windows (using several listview gadgets, in which the items can be moved by drag'n'drop), so I'm sure my code is working how it should!
The bad one is: nothing happens on MacOS, there seems any Drag event missing, so no further processing is possible.

The following example with 2 listicons and 2 listviews is hacked together on my MacBook now, based on code from the forum and additions done in my project source (Windows).

It should run as expected on MS Windows (couldn't test it now), but nothing happens on MacOS....
So the question is: Drag'n'Drop not supported for listviews and listicons on MacOS? ... a bug in PB? .... a bug in my code?

I was able to test the code posted yesterday on MS Windows (XP SP 3) with PB 4.60 just now. And all works as expected (the listview item movement like implemented in my project, the listicon too with some less comfort - see the shorter ListIconGadgetMove() procedure).

So the problem must have something to do with MacOS and/or PB for Mac.... could anyone test it on his Mac too? Thank you.

(made a MacOS bug-report here, so this topic is also checked by the devs )

So the question is: Drag'n'Drop not supported for listviews and listicons on MacOS? ... a bug in PB? .... a bug in my code?

It seems to be a bug in the Mac's PB version: if you comment out
the 5 TextGadgets, Drag'n'Drop will work. But Drag'n'Drop seems
to be inhibited by the use of the TextGadgets, even if you replace
the Gadget# of the TextGadgets by #PB_ANY and correct a small
error in your code by replacing

Code: Select all

Select EventGadget()

with

Code: Select all

Select EventGadget

@Shardik: thanks for testing! Good to know, that I've found a bug and I'm not the bug myself...
(The small mistake with EventGadget() is corrected in the source now.)

Thanks Andre, nice example.
