Getting Cancel events

[Jens]

Hi,

I'd like to get an event whenever the user cancels a dragdrop operation (e.g. presses the escape key or just releases the mouse button). It seems like DragStatus.DragCancel is the status ... but I never get it from any event handler!?

I'm using the internal build 2009_2_904

Thank you

Hello Jens,

You should handle the DragInfo event - it is thrown when the user cancels the drag/drop operation.

Hi, I need to catch the escape key event, or the "cancellation" event raised by pressing the escape key. The problem is that when I press escape, the DropInfo event is fired and and the DragStatus is DropImpossible, not DropCancel. That status is set when I drag over a not allowed element, so I can't distinguish when the event is caused by the escape key or by anything else.

1.How could I handle it?
2.Can I disable the escape key?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Alejandro,

You can get whether the drag is being cancelled by checking for DragCancel status in DragInfo handler.
About the esc key - unfortunately the is no option to disable this behavior.

Kind regards,
