Hi All, I was working on a BeanTreeView in a platform app and found a strange oddity that I'm not sure if I'm dealing with it the right way. If I implement clipboardCut() in a way similarly to that found in:
https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/node-cutcopypastedeletemovereorderdragdrop-on-the-netbeans-platform I can drag nodes and drop them and have them removed from source and pasted into the target (awesome!). However, if I add a CutAction to my list of actions for the node, then use: actions.put(DefaultEditorKit.cutAction, ExplorerUtils.actionCut(explorerManager)); in my actionMap, I found that using the Cut operation from the popup menu for the node did not really cut the node (i.e., copy to copy to clipboard then delete). I checked and in the Netbeans IDE I also find the same thing happens if I try to cut a Java class node from a package using the cut menu option. As a workaround, I used this: actions.put(DefaultEditorKit.cutAction, new AbstractAction() { @Override public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev) { if (explorerManager == null) { return; } var explorerCut = ExplorerUtils.actionCut(explorerManager); Node[] sel = explorerManager.getSelectedNodes(); explorerCut.actionPerformed(ev); for (var n : sel) { try { n.destroy(); } catch (IOException ex) { Exceptions.printStackTrace(ex); } } } } ); This seems to work. The action in the map is called-back to when using the popup menu action, but the node drag and drop does not use this action and instead has its own handling. Prior to this, I had tried calling destroy in clipboardCut() but that did not work as I had expected. Dragging a node would call clipboardCut() and the node would get immediately destroyed before I even dropped (or worse, cancelled the action). So... this seems to work for me, but I wanted to check to see if there was another way of doing this that would be recommended. Also, could someone clarify why cut does not actually cut and only copies in Netbeans IDE? Thanks!
