Custom drag and drop

Hi All,

I just finished building a custom drag and drop slide. Works perfectly. I do however have one question. 2 things I would like to see different.

- When I place a draggable item on a drop target, I can no longer pick it up and drag it to another one. How can I make sure it remains draggable even if I dropped it on a target but want to drop it on a different target?
- When I place a draggable item on a drop target, I can stil drop others items on top of it.

Best regards,

Dick

Hi,

- When I place a draggable item on a drop target, I can no longer pick it up and drag it to another one. How can I make sure it remains draggable even if I dropped it on a target but want to drop it on a different target?

Check 'Redrag the droped source' on the DRAG AND DROP Options tab. This should allow to drag Drag Sources from one Drop Target to another.

- When I place a draggable item on a drop target, I can stil drop others items on top of it.

Select a Drop Target, go to the DRAG AND DROP Format tab and click the Object Actions... button. On the dialog that comes up, uncheck Accept All. If you want to allow only 1 Drag Souce per Drop Target, sert Count: to 1. Under On Accept: you can choose if you'd want any new Drag Souce dragged to a Drop Target to replace the old one, or if you want to block the new one, sending it back to its original position. Do this for any Drop Target where you only want to allow 1 Drag Source.

captivate really doesn't allow that.  the best solution is providing the "reset" option,  which allows them to start the process over from the beginning

Hi Sdarwick,

I already thought that that would be the only option I had. I will build it in. At least people can recover their mistakes with this button.

Thanks for your advice.

Best regards,

Dick

You can also add Clear button, to allow them to restart before submitting.

Another possibility is the option to replace a dropped drag source by

another drag source instead of stacking.
