Re: Drag and Drop

Michael,

  Java does provide some decent drag and drop
functionality. I have incorporated it into several gui
apps written in Java. I have always done the drag and
drop between java applications only and not between a
java application and the OS or application written in
another language so I can not help you there. This
link should get you started
