Re: How to listen for drag/drop events?

Show all headers | View raw

I believe I've found a suitable workaround.  I have a custom DocumentFilter on my control.  I override insertString which is accepting all text from a drag/drop at once, but I process each character in a loop to determine if, where, and how it should be allowed in the control using custom input masks.  This method passes in a DocumentFilter.FilterBypass which I use to update what is currently displayed in the control, which is reporting each update to the DocumentListeners one character at a time.  At the end of the insertString and remove methods for each of my filters, I call a setText() method which puts the full updated display String in a custom field in one abstract filter class, the super class for all 3 filters.  I can report the "key change events" here and it gives me one event for every keypress or drag/drop which changes the control's value.
