Java Netbeans

[sakura]

Hello po.. I'm a newbie in java programming.

I am making an application using Java Netbeans. The main feature of this application is to allow users to drag and drop icons in the workspace. What I would like to do is when a button is pressed, say a button with a rectangle icon, a rectangle image will be displayed--above the button and below the mouse cursor--which then can be drag. I've searched the internet and what i found is the used of glasspane, however, when i released the mouse, the image is not displayed in the workspace.

Do you have any idea how to implement it? Thank you very much..

Hmm.. you are talking about high level interface using netbeans.. Actually, java api positions elements in some way or another, depending on the setting of the frame or whatever container the elements reside. If you want a draggable rectangle, you can use a pane with absolute positioning.. But i have not tried it yet.. you may listen for the movement of the mouse then move the pane accordingly..

Best regards,
