WD for ABAP: Drag and Drop: How can I copy an icon by Drag and Drop

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to copy an icon (DragSource) to a button (DropTarget) by Drag and Drop.

How can I realize this act?

First, what release are you on. Drag and drop is only available in WDA as of NetWeaver 7.0 EnhP1.

Here is the online help for Drag and Drop:

Here is a video that demonstrates Drag and Drop in WDA 7.01:

If you study these materials you will see that you can't actually copy the icon via Drag and Drop. The Drag and Drop will only trigger a server side event in which you have the opportunity to manipulate the context. So on the drop operation you would change the iconSource bound to the button.

I'm on release NetWeaver 7.0 EnhP1.

Thanks for your answer.
