• Cannot drag-and - drop between host and guest

  12 workstation

  Host = 10 Pro x 64 Windows

  Comments = 10 Pro x 64 Windows

  Everything is entirely up to date, etc. on a Z87 PC chipset.

  I can copy and paste. I can drag-and - drop comments to the host.

  I can't drag-and - drop between host and guest! lol I just get that bar circle icon.

  I'm totally stumped! I tried a myriad of common things...uninstalled/reinstalled VMWARE, then Tools, then even tried to create new guests. I do not have eccentric tweaks or customizations. It is a desktop PC that I use for a laboratory test and my business. I have no other problems in addition to this. Yet, on my other system, essentially a nearly identical configuration, I don't have this problem.

  Any suggestions?

  SOLUTION FOUND!

  The problem boils down to a matter of RUN AS ADMIN. On the HOST problem, it has been set to RUN as administrator. I've not done this! He has just installed that way automatically. Once I stopped that and it ran normally, all was well again. Read below for more details.

  I have two virtual HOST machine configurations almost identical - we'll we'll call HOST 1 and HOST 2. HOST 2 works perfectly without a problem. Drag and drop, to navigate to drives mapped to access NAS stored VMs, etc...

  I began to compare what was similar vs. different between the two. On HOST 1 (problem child even as I could slide properly - drop on), I noticed that I could not navigate to my NAS location where some virtual machines are stored. In the left navigation panel, the mapped drives would appear as drive letters with question marks next to them as you can see in the image below.

  

  I deleted the mapped drives then mapped them still fresh, did an other CLEAN uninstall VMWARE WS PRO 12. I combed the registry, records and checked for devices hidden in Device Manager. Clean as a whistle! I reinstalled 12 Workstation and returned the problem! I could yet drag-and - drop properly or navigate to mapped drives. Then I noticed the HOST 2 that he was not being RUN as administrator. Really? So, I removed this parameter and TA DA! Everything started to work properly. I don't know if it's a bug, or knowledge common to others but for me it was new. I don't know why, by default, when installing 1 HOST went down VMWARE to run as administrator, but it was.

  Bottom line - do not run VMWARE as an administrator.

• Drag and Drop between 2 DataGrids

  I need to drag-and - drop between a series of data grids. However, when I drag from one to the other, he must not remove from the original, just make a copy. This may seem like an easy question, but I am a n00b and need help. Thank you!

  Visit this link, it's a very similar example: (with the list component and removes the element of the old list)
  http://livedocs.Adobe.com/Flex/3/HTML/Help.HTML?content=dragdrop_7.html

  check the destination component dragOver event. You can reject the trail and add a copy to your list or accept the drag and attach a copy of the source list.

• Drag and drop between screws

  I don't have much by using the drag and drop experience. I think using a tree control that appears in a sub VI with a list of channel names. I want to drag the name of the channel on an indicator on my main façade. There will be little code concerned after that to get the data of this channel in the indicator, which was chosen, but I don't know how to start the process of moving between the screws the Subvi with the tree control must have a structure of the event? Do I need a FG of operation between the two screws?

  Hi deskpilot,.

  Order the attached example. This should help you. Run the screw and try to drag in the drop-down list and drop into the VISA control

• How to build a drag and drop multimeter lead using Flash animation?

  I'm building a virtual multimeter to test simulated circuits. I would like to be able to drag a lead animation test multimeter to a circuit point and drop it on a target. The static drag and drop is not my problem. I would like some suggestions on how I can animate the movement of the head itself. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  you want something to "follow the mouse", but do not be dragged?

  If so, use a loop (enterframe) and facilitate the position of the object with the mouse:

• Need help with virtual shelf - drag and drop between components?

  Hello

  Im trying to create a virtual shelf, where book spines are clips of individual video that can be dragged and re-ordered on the set.  For the moment I can drag the thorns to a target affected, but not just any target or "nudge" the position of other books along.

  I'm sorry that if that's a little vague I'm not experienced in as3, please do not hesitate to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer.  IM thinking that a table is necessary which occupies the posts, but I'm not sure how to put it all together!

  Any help is greatly appreciated! The code I have so far is:

  import flash.events.MouseEvent;
  import flash.display.MovieClip;

  var dragArray:Array = [red, blue, green, purple, yellow];
  var matchArray:Array is [target1, target2, target3, target4, target5];.

  var currentClip:MovieClip;
  var startX:Number;
  var startY: number;

  for (var i: int = 0; i < dragArray.length; i ++) {}
  dragArray [i] .buttonMode = true;
  dragArray [i] .addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, item_onMouseDown);
  matchArray [i] .alpha = 0.2;
  }

  function item_onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void {}
  currentClip = MovieClip (event.currentTarget);
  startX = currentClip.x;
  startY = currentClip.y;
  addChild (currentClip); bring to front
  currentClip.startDrag ();
  stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stage_onMouseUp);
  }

  function stage_onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void {}
  stage.removeEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stage_onMouseUp);
  currentClip.stopDrag ();
  var int index = dragArray.indexOf (currentClip);
  var matchClip:MovieClip = MovieClip (matchArray [index]);
  If (matchClip.hitTestPoint (currentClip.x, currentClip.y, true)) {}
  a match was found. Position the clip on the corresponding clip:
  currentClip.x = matchClip.x;
  currentClip.y = matchClip.y;
  make not draggable:
  currentClip.removeEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, item_onMouseDown);
  currentClip.buttonMode = false;
  } else {}
  football match has not, so send the clip to the back where he began:
  currentClip.x = startX;
  currentClip.y = startY;
  }
  }

  Yes, you can double click on activate your movieclips and assign the function double click listeners who use navigateToURL

  dragArray [0] .doubleClickEnabled = true;

  dragArray [0] .addEventListener (MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, f);

  function f(e:Event):void {}

  navigateToURL (new URLRequest ("http://www.adobe.com"));

• Cannot drag and drop between OSX and OSX VM

  Fusion 5.03

  10.8.4 OSX patch entirely on the virtual machine and the host.

  I'm just trying to drag a file 397KO from the desktop of the host to the desktop of the virtual machine

  I have the drag and it snaps back on the desktop of the host.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled the VMWare Tools in the virtual machine.

  I have also uninstalelled and then rebooted and then installed and restarted with no luck.

  I also rebooted the host as well.

  It was originally a Lion install where tools were installed and then upgraded to level to Mountain Lion and then patches.

  I guess it's probably something simple I'm missing.

  Thanks for the help

  When in doubt, read the documentation!   Take a look on: create an OS X Server, VMware Fusion Virtual Machine

• Several monitors, drag and drop questions

  Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. Running two monitors with extended desktop. With several windows open, I try to drag and drop items between windows, to move files or to copy text from one place to another, for example. After that selection is made, as soon as I move the mouse to drag, all windows size, shift to different areas of the desktop (s) to decrease and darkens slightly. The mouse arrow becomes a crossed circle.

  I tried using a non Aero theme without effect and am unsure if this is a windows problem, a problem of mouse or a monitor problem. I also made changes but advanced Visual effects, that does not work. In this screenshot, the Firefox window is full-screen on the right monitor, Thunderbird is full screen on the left and the other windows are different sizes on both. I am trying to drag and drop a few folders and that's what I have.

  Thanks for your help.

  

  I was able to troubleshoot and resolve this problem on mine. He was unrelated to monitors, etc.

  The unusual behavior occurred during left click drag and drop operations. Using a different mouse, I found normal operations. After some research, I found a dark environment on a Logitech mouse. Using setpoint, I disabled the application switcher function and monitor / several window performance and behavior returns to normal.

  Thanks for trying.

• Drag and drop support with the VM mountain lion

  Hi all

  I recently got a new macbook pro (with retina display and the 16 GB and of course the SSD - very soft). I created a machine virtual windows 7 for my windows applications and I also wanted a separate VM to develop on with Mountain Lion, so I downloaded the Cougar from the app store and created an image of mountain lion. My only problem is that it doesn't seem to be any support for drag and drop between my host mountain lion and my mountain lion guest VM. If I try to drag and drop with my windows 7 VM, it works well, but not mountain Lion mountain lion.

  Does anyone know if there are a few settings that I can turn it on or if it is supposed to work? Furthermore, I am under Fusion 5.0.3 and am on MacOS 10.8.3 (on my host and the guest operating system).

  Thank you

  -Jeff

  Hi Jeff,

  Yes it is a limitation having Mac OS X as a guest operating system. There are some other limitations as well as

  • SVGA only.  No chart 2D or 3D accelerated.
  • No unit.
  • No fullscreen multimon support.
  • No USB 3.0 support.

• Drag and Drop with DataGrid to Image

  Hi all
  
  I have experimented with drag and drop between DataGrids. It was pretty simple, but what I want is to take a line from a DataGrid and drop it on an Image. Can I use or overlap the DataGrid drag and drop with a manual drag and drop for the Image? Or should I manually add the drag and drop only?
  
  I guess I'm just trying getting the Image to accept the line of the data grid.

  Hello

  Yes, you can interwine the two. I did something similar, except in my case I
  working with a datagrid and a tree and I need to override the default behavior for the tree.

  Just use dragEnabled = "true" to the datagrid control.

  Then the Image to define functions for the dragEnter and dragDrop events (and from other events, drag if you wish).

  private void doEnter(event:Event):void
  {
  DragManager.acceptDragDrop (Image (event.currentTarget));
  }

  private void doDrop(event:Event):void
  {
  your code here
  }
  Don't forget to add:

• Drag and drop external text in a Flex component

  Hello
  
  is there a way to enable drag and drop external text (for example, the text selected from another browser or even from the address bar) in a Flex as a TextArea component? I know how to drag and drop between two different Flex components, but in this case, the source is external. There must be something I can do to TextArea as its dragdrop property to enable this feature... any help would be greatly appreciated.
  
  Thank you
  Josh

  Short answer: Yes, as long as it's an AIR app.

  Browser-based Flex applications do not have access to ClipBoardFormats, so I'm not sure that it is possible to do what I think you want to do - have a Flex application on the web that allows you to drag and drop the text selected from other apps. More likely because of the running in Flash player security sandbox.

  However, if you want to do in an AIR application, I built this for example for you (you can see a more 'clean' version with good dashes to http://pastebin.com/f741cbac8 ):

  
  http://www.Adobe.com/2006/mxml '.
  creationComplete = "initDandD (); "width ="500"height ="600">

  
  

  public function initDandD (): void {}
  addEventListener (NativeDragEvent.NATIVE_DRAG_ENTER, onDragIn);
  addEventListener (NativeDragEvent.NATIVE_DRAG_DROP, onDragDrop);
  }

  private void onDragIn(e:NativeDragEvent):void {}
  {if (e.Clipboard.hasFormat (ClipboardFormats.TEXT_FORMAT))}
  NativeDragManager.acceptDragDrop (this);
  }
  }

  private void onDragDrop(e:NativeDragEvent):void {}
  var myString:String = e.clipboard.getData (ClipboardFormats.TEXT_FORMAT) as String

  myTextArea.text = myString;

• Drag and Drop ad dataProviders

  Hi all
  
  I am trying to transfer data from a tilelists 2. I pass the data through an article that I was drag and drop between the tilelists. Now, I want to change an xml attribute in the data once the item is deleted in the new tilelist as described below:
  
  private void chartDragDropHandler(event:DragEvent):void {}
  If (event.dragSource.hasFormat ("items"))
  {
  dropTarget var = event.currentTarget;
  event.dragSource.dataForFormat ('items') [0] .@inventory_glyph_id = dropTarget.id;
  }
  }
  
  When I trace data in the dropTarget, the data is passed except the inventory_glyph_id is not changed as expected. Is there another way to do this? TIA b

  Hello Tracy, thanks for the reply.

  I looked in the DragComplete event, but the dropTarget is null. I need the dropTarget id in the Manager. But I thought about it! So, I went back with the handler for the DragDrop event. Turns, I just had to use the dragSource.addData method to change the data of drag. Finished function below:

• cannot drag and drop into the chat

  I had used for a long time a very old version of Skype (3.8) without problem. Recently I have updated to the latest version, and now, I can't drag and drop files in a chat window. I still can select Conversation-Send-file, select a file and send it, but I can't drag and drop. I use XP 32 bit. Any suggestions?

  Reinstall the program did not help.

• Drag and Drop Error1010 of the time?

  I have a drag and drop game that uses arrays for targets.  I have a property on the table of "permitted" so that I can have 4 zones "targets".

  However, I had a problem in the sense that I kept getting an error 1010 due to the use of the authorized property (if I dropped the mc outside the target, it was likely that I would see an error 1010).

  I realized that I had to add my property 'allowed' to all my other movieclips, and it works most of the time.  However, it seems that if I drop my clips on the border of an another movieclip, I get error 1010.

  I applied my property 'allowed' to everything that I could find, event 'root' (due to some images that were also causing the error 1010) and this continues to be.

  Any ideas?

  so each target has a permitted ownership which is the array of authorized interrupted movieclips?  If so, which should cause no problems.  in your drop listener function:

  function dropF(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  {if (MovieClip (e.currentTarget). DropTarget.Allowed)}

  {if (MovieClip (e.currentTarget). {(DropTarget.allowed.IndexOf (e.currentTarget) >-1)}

  This is allowed dropped target

  } else {}

  wrong target

  } else {}

  fell not on any target

  }

• How to drag and drop nodes to tab between the components of the tab

  I'm working on this tutorial example ( feature drag - move in the JavaFX Applications |) JavaFX tutorials and Documentation 2 ). Based on the tutorial I want to drag tabs between two tabs. So far, I have managed to create this code, but I need help to complete the code.

  Source

  tabPane = new TabPane();
  Tab tabA = new Tab();
     Label tabALabel = new Label("Main Component");
  
  
  tabPane.setOnDragDetected(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
          {
              @Override
              public void handle(MouseEvent event)
              {
                  /* drag was detected, start drag-and-drop gesture*/
                  System.out.println("onDragDetected");
  
                  /* allow any transfer mode */
                  Dragboard db = tabPane.startDragAndDrop(TransferMode.ANY);
  
                  /* put a string on dragboard */
                  ClipboardContent content = new ClipboardContent();
                  content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane);
                  db.setContent(content);
  
                  event.consume();
              }
          });
  

  What is the correct way to insert the contents of the tab as an object? In the tutorial simple text is transferred. How do I change this line content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane); ?

  And what is the right way to insert the tab after that I drag the tab:

  Destination

  
  

  tabPane.setOnDragDropped(new EventHandler<DragEvent>()
          {
              @Override
              public void handle(DragEvent event)
              {
                  /* data dropped */
                  /* if there is a string data on dragboard, read it and use it */
                  Dragboard db = event.getDragboard();
                  boolean success = false;
                  if (db.hasString())
                  {
                      //tabPane.setText(db.getString());
                      Tab tabC = new Tab();
                      tabPane.getTabs().add(tabC);
                      success = true;
                  }
                  /* let the source know whether the string was successfully
                   * transferred and used */
                  event.setDropCompleted(success);
  
                  event.consume();
              }
          });
  

  
  

  
  I guess that this transfer is possible?

  REF javafx 2 - How to drag and drop nodes between the components of the tab - stack overflow tab

  I use a graphic (instead of text) for tabs and call setOnDragDetected on this chart. That way you know which tab is moved. There is no nice way to put the tab itself in the dragboard because it is not serializable (see https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-29082), so you'll want to probably just store currently slipped into a property tab.

  Here's a quick example; It only add the tab at the end of the existing tabs in the pane has fallen. If you want to insert it in the location that is closest to the actual drop you probably browse the tabs and find details of chart of each tab, or something.
