Problems dragging a component

General JUCE discussion

Hi, I’ve problems doing a simple drag’n’drop. I don’t know what I doing wrong:

The component that I want drag:

class Movil: public Button, public DragAndDropContainer { public: Movil(); ~Movil(); juce_UseDebuggingNewOperator; void paintButton(Graphics &g, bool isMouseOverButton, bool isButtonDown); void clicked(); };

Its pure virtual method implementation:

[code]void Movil::clicked()
{
startDragging(“prueba”, this);
}

void Movil::paintButton(Graphics &g, bool isMouseOverButton, bool isButtonDown)
{
g.setColour(Colours::black);
g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
}
[/code]

Its target (which contains an Movil object):

class MainComponent  : public Component,
						public ButtonListener,
						public DragAndDropTarget
private:
   MenuBarComponent* menu;
   Menu* menuc;
   Movil* movil;
public:
    MainComponent ()
    {
      movil = new Movil;
      addAndMakeVisible(movil);
      movil->setBounds(15,15,50,30);
      //... other few new objects
    }

    ~MainComponent ()
    {
       deleteAllChildren();
    }
 
	bool isInterestedInDragSource (const String &sourceDescription, Component *sourceComponent)
	{
		return true;
	}
	
	void itemDropped(const String & sourceDescription,Component *sourceComponent,int  x,int  y) 	
	{
		sourceComponent->setBounds(x, y, 50, 30);
	
	}	
};

I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. I want drag movil (which inside of maincomponent already) to another place of maincomponent, but I cannot. However I can move it if I release the drop inside movil object.

Any help will be welcome!

It’s your top-level parent component or window that needs to be a DragAndDropContainer, not the thing you’re trying to drag!
