Since my last question, I have actually taken advantage of the accidental disappearance of the dragged item. I use the disappearance to represent a
deletion of the item --- a "swoosh" and delete of the pointer.
I now keep track of whether the user has exited the ListBox and deleted the item (accidentally or by mistake)
by keeping count of how many times the user enters
and leaves the Listbox --- not too elegant but it works.
Is there a simpler alternative? I already have an explicit "Delete" button for the first-time user who is yet unfamiliar with the behavior
of the GUI.
Best,
Juan

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
