Need to add HTML5 desktop to browser DnD support in GWT application

[dhoffer]

I need to have a widget that accepts DnD files from the desktop, how can I do this in a GWT 2.5.1 application? See the link below for the JS code to do this. Does GWT already have a widget for this? If not how could I create my own? 

From the link below I understand it all starts with a div in the rendered HTML and then wires in support for DnD with the JS code shown in the link. So in my case I'm starting with a GWT layout and need to add this 'widget' to that existing layout. I've never created my own GWT widget before, would I start with an existing GWT widget and then add the JS via JSNI? If so, what would be the best starting widget to build on?

Hello.


I didn't have yet the occasion to play with it and it's one year old,
but GWT Uploader on http://www.moxiegroup.com/moxieapps/gwt-uploader/
seems to do the kind of things you require.


Hope this helps


Regards

Nicolas,

Thanks much for the link to this component.  I had found a couple similar ones but found this one to be the best, it really works great.  Thanks again for the link.

-Dave

P.S. I would think that GWT ought to have this as a core feature.
