How to use RootLayoutPanel with DnD?

[Meredith O.]

How do I go about using DnD with a root layout panel? The existing constructor will only take an absolute or root panel as an argument. The documentation doesn't mention how to do this.
Any help is appreciated, thank you! For reference, I'm using GWT 2.7 and DnD 3.3.4.

Does https://github.com/fredsa/gwt-dnd/issues/98 help at all, i.e. set BODY (and perhaps HTML) height to 100% ?

/* CSS */

BODY, HTML {

 height: 100%;

}

Hello Fred,

Thank you so much for getting back to me and for your help! Sorry I didn't specify this earlier, but I meant I have an issue with creating a PickupDragController with a RootLayoutPanel as an argument - the compiler won't allow it. I was wondering if there was any workaround to this, or if the PickupDragController must use a RootPanel or AbsolutePanel.

Meredith,

An AbsolutePanel / RootPanel is indeed currently required.

Hi Fred,
     Question... If I wanted to use a RootLayoutPanel (and Layouts in general) with DnD, is there an approach(es) that you might recommend, even if its a non-trivial undertaking? I might be interested in implementing it for a project. If I do, I'd be fine sharing the resulting workaround with you in case any parts of it might inspire a feature in DnD.

You might try seeing if you can overload the PickupDragController constructor and make it work.
