Where are the copied records with DragDataAction COPY

[levi]

Hi,

When the DragDataAction is COPY, how can I access the copied record before it's added to the ListGrid? I can't seem to find any event which gives me access to that record.


What I want to do is a variation of this:
http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/#effects_dd_types
we start with grey boxes,
then move them to the blue or green target.
While doing that, a copy of the grey box (so all of its properties are copied) is created, except a few properties are changed or added. E.g. the icon changes from grey to blue/green.


Is this built-in or it the recommended solution to do the same as in
http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/#effects_dd_create
which is 'do the copy yourself by creating new child records' ?





fyi this sample:
http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/showcase/#effects_dd_copy_list
is named 'Drag List (copy)' but doesn't actually do a copy (I had expected that the left grid keeps it content).


thanks

Can you not use addRecordDropHandler()?
That method fires when the user drops data into the grid, and the dropped records can be accessed via event.getDropRecords()

Ah, sorry. Sometimes it's a bit confusing which method needs to defined on which component to get dragging working.

I was already using the addRecordDropHandler to handle re-order of records from within the same component.
Thanks to the RecordDropEvent.getSourceWidget() I can easily find out where the dropped records come from. Fantastic as usual!

thanks
