Drop Site Database Manager - Motif/OPENLOOK drag and drop
proxy agent
dsdm
DESCRIPTION
The
dsdm
manages a database of all drop sites on the display. When a drag
operation is started, the
dsdm
is queried for a list of the drop sites.
This drop site information is used by the dragging application to
identify drop sites and provide
user feedback during the drag operation.
The
dsdm
provides a drag-and-drop
gateway between Motif and OPENLOOK applications.
When an object is dropped on a drop site,
the
dsdm
gets a drop message from
the drop sender application. The
dsdm
then translates
the drop message, and sends the translated message
to the drop receiver application.
WARNINGS
The
dsdm
must be running before applications are started for the drag-and-drop
gateway feature to work.
