Description Petr Dvorak 2008-03-25 14:22:02 UTC
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200803250006)
Java: 1.6.0_10-beta; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b11
System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1250; cs_CZ (nb)

Create a new category in the palette (using Palette Manager or Palette window pop-up menu). Then, open a Palette Manager
and click "Add to palette" button. Add some custom component.

Initially, the component is in the "Custom" category. If I want to change the category for the newly added component, I
need to use a Palette window. I can drag&drop the component from the Custom category to any other category in the
Palette window. However, I cannot do the same in the Palette manager.

The same holds for any other components. You can drag&drop any component to any category in the Palette window, but not
in the Palette Manager.

It should be possible to use a Palette Manager to manage a palette completely or maybe ot would be best to cancel the
Palette Manager dialog (you don't really need it anyway - it just throws a bunch of exceptions when you manipulate the
palette items in both Palette Window and the Palette Manager).
Comment 1 Jan Stola 2008-03-25 15:46:35 UTC
Palette Window is provided by core/palette => reassigning appropriately. The request seems invalid(=already 
implemented) to me - I am already able to drag and drop components between categories.
Comment 2 Stanislav Aubrecht 2008-03-25 15:55:22 UTC
drag and drop does work in palette manager window.
pls attach the exceptions it allegedly throws and reopen, thanks
Comment 3 Petr Dvorak 2008-03-25 16:02:02 UTC
You are right, it works for the Swing/AWT. It does not work only for the Mobility Development. Open Tools > Palette >
MIDP Visual Mobile Designer...
Comment 4 Petr Dvorak 2008-03-25 16:12:00 UTC
For the Mobility guys: What is the correct behavior, the one provided by Palette Window (you can drag and drop any
component to any category) or the one provided with Palette Manager (you cannot use drag and drop in above mentioned
way)? The drag and drop works as expected for Swing/AWT...
Comment 5 Karol Harezlak 2008-03-25 17:15:12 UTC
We may implement full support for D&D for the future releases.
