Mouse Coordinates on Drop
posted

I've been working with the new drag and drop framework for a little while now.  Currently I have a need for the mouse coordinates whenever the item is dropped.  Normally I would just throw a onmouseup event and grab the coordinates that way.  However, for some reason that event never fires when I have a drag and drop item attached to the mouse.  

Also I tried using evntArgs.get_x() and evntArgs.get_y() from inside the DropHandler method.  This threw the Object doesn't support this property or method error.

function dropHandler(source, evntArgs)

{   

            var tmpx = evntArgs.get_x();

            var tmpy = evntArgs.get_y();

}

 

Any help here would be much appreciated.  Thank you for your time.

    Hi Arithal,

    The drop handler contains instance of DragDropEventArgs as 2nd param. That class has get_manager() member function. The get_x/y are available in drag-move events.

    If you need those values within drop handler, then I can suggest to set global members within move and get them within drop. Example:

    var my_dragX = null;
    var my_dragY = null;
    function dragMoveHandler(source, evntArgs)
    {
     my_dragX = evntArgs.get_x();
     my_dragY = evntArgs.get_y();
    }
    function dropHandler(source, evntArgs)
    {  
     alert('x/y=' + my_dragX + ':' + my_dragY);
    }
