Drag & drop

I need to do the drag & drop thing.

From a Tree Control I want to select a item and drop it onto the control or indicator of my choice.

item in the Tree Control will be signal comming from or going to an other system. I want to be able to assign theses signal to cotrols or indicator dynamicaly by drag and droping them to controls on my front panel.

Do I need to use ActiveX things... I ain't know nothing about theses things. If I do need to use ActiveX. Could someone give me where to begin. What should I look first? Is there a tutorial somewhere? A book that I should read... please help.

Thanks

This sounds like a neat idea... I can visualize what you want to do but have no idea how you could do that. I don't think you'll be able to do it using LabVIEW's built in tree control functions but that doesn't mean there isn't a work around that would do more or less the same thing. I would also be interested if you could adapt a solution to this to apply to two independent tree controls.

Perhaps you could read the value of the tree control and adapt one of the mouse-over examples to dynamically assign whatever is selected on the tree. This would require two clicks instead of an actual drag and drop but it seems somewhat feasible.

It is a good work around. I will do that. That the conclusion I had too.
