drag and drop

Thursday, February 14, 2008 by Jimb1177 | Discussion: ObjectDock

how can i drag and drop files into folders on the dock?
i have my documents on there and another folder. i want the folders to behave just as they would if they were icons on the desktop really.
thanks.

Same here, I know it works cause it works on my laptop - my desktop PC just dumps the icon on the desktop behind the toolbar.

Have you found an answer? I'm looking for the same feature!

Right click on an empty spot on the dock, in the drop down menu select "view", in the sub menu of that make sure that "Lock Icon Dragging" does not have a check mark next to it. If it does click it to uncheck and you should be able to drag stuff to the dock.

Let me know if this helps

This feature is somewhat buggy in objectdock. i tried to make a docket which would accept files for drag and drop, but heres what happens

- The function that tells objectdock if the docket accepts drag/drop works just fine.
- In this case I just wrote return true;
- After writing this the dock seems to accept the files.
- BUT it never seems to call the function which gives you a handle to the hdrop.
- Even when i simply output a message upon accepting files, nothing happens.
- When using rk lancher which has OD docklet support it works just fine.
- Either we don't know how to program it right, or the function is bugged.
- Recycle bin drag/drop works fine.
- The stacks docklet has drag/drop impletmented for a folder. but it fails on OD.
