Drag and drop in dojo

[Simon Bates]

Hi everyone,

I've written up some brief notes on drag and drop in Dojo:

Dojo has some generic drag and drop support code which lives in:

http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/dojo/trunk/src/dnd/

This support code can be used by widget creators to add drag and drop to
a widget. For example, the tree widget has drag and drop:

http://sjb.atrc.utoronto.ca/dojo/tests/widget/treeV3/dnd1.html

It uses:

http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/dojo/trunk/src/widget/TreeDndControllerV3.js

and

http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/dojo/trunk/src/dnd/TreeDragAndDropV3.js

There also appears to be a new drag and drop system being developed:

http://sjb.atrc.utoronto.ca/dojo/tests/dnd2/test_dnd.html

and it lives in:

http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/dojo/trunk/src/dnd2/

Please see:

http://dojotoolkit.org/pipermail/dojo-contributors/2007-March/006686.html

In terms of accessibility, I believe the plan is to implement keyboard
equivalents for drag and drop for the tree widget for Dojo 1.0.

All the best,
Simon
