Description

The function drop-object-collection-index returns the index and place relative to that index within the collection that the object drop-object is being dropped over. This information is only meaningful when the pane is an instance of list-panel or tree-view.

The returned value index is the position in the collection (see get-collection-item or choice-selection). The returned value placement indicates whether the user is dropping above, on or below the item at index .

There is also a setf expander that can be called with these two values within the :drag stage of the operation, to adjust where the user will be allowed to drop the object.

Notes

drop-object-collection-index should only be called within a drop-callback . It is not supported on X11/Motif. See simple-pane for information about drop callbacks.
