Drag and drop of a widget

LubomírBucek — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 11:37:22 GMT

I would like to put an action on widget window drag and drop. Is it possible? Does moving a widget panel by a user emit some kind of event, which I would be then able to use somehow like this: on(this.something, 'move', Dosomething) ???

Thanks

Lubomír,

Sure. If you add the require for dojo/topic and these lines to the Widget.js then you can get the info on when the widgets is done moving:

topic.subscribe('/dnd/move/stop', lang.hitch(this, function(mover){
  console.info(mover.node);
}));

Thank you very much, this is exactly what I needed + I have never heard of dojo/topic.

Solved.
