Aloe Drag and Drop

Aloe Drag and Drop is a sophisticated Rust crate designed to facilitate seamless drag-and-drop interactions within GUI applications. This crate provides extensive support for drag-and-drop operations involving files, text, and custom components, both internally within applications and across different applications via external drag-and-drop.

Features

• File Drag-and-Drop: Enables components to receive files from external sources through drag-and-drop events.
• Text Drag-and-Drop: Supports dragging of textual data, allowing components to handle dropped text.
• Custom Component Dragging: Provides a comprehensive interface for dragging complex objects within a GUI, with support for custom drag images and constraints on component movement.
• External Drag-and-Drop Support: Facilitates interaction with the operating system's drag-and-drop mechanisms to move files or text between applications.

Usage

Implement the necessary traits such as FileDragAndDropTarget, TextDragAndDropTarget, or DragAndDropTarget within your components to enable drag-and-drop functionality. Utilize methods such as start_dragging_component within mouse event handlers to initiate drag operations.

Example

use aloe_drag_and_drop::{ComponentDragger, DragAndDropContainer};

struct MyComponent {
    dragger: ComponentDragger,
}

impl MyComponent {
    fn on_mouse_down(&mut self) {
        self.dragger.start_dragging_component(self, ...);
    }

    fn on_mouse_drag(&mut self) {
        self.dragger.drag_component(self, ...);
    }
}

Advanced Operations

• Using Drag Image: Customize the drag image shown during a drag-and-drop operation by using set_current_drag_image.
• External Drag-and-Drop Initiation: Start drag-and-drop operations with external applications using methods like perform_external_drag_drop_of_files or perform_external_drag_drop_of_text.

Note: When dealing with external drag-and-drops, consider platform-specific functionality and constraints.
