    Post Check a Dragging object when dropped ???

    Hi,

    I'm trying to find a way to check for an object when dragged from on place
    to another.

    How can I check the item being dragged with an item it will be dropped on ?

    I tried a few things, but the only thing I get is a memory address.

    Any help/ advice ?

    Thx

    Check a Dragging object when dropped ???

    The Drop Target (a label with icon):
    Code:
            Icon icon4 = new ImageIcon("Printer");
            printerLbl = new JLabel(icon4);
    	textFieldPanel.add(printerLbl);
    	printerLbl.setBackground(new Color(255,255,10));
    	printerLbl.setForeground(new Color(255,255,10));
    	printerLbl.setOpaque(true);
    	printerLbl.setTransferHandler(new PictureTransferHandler());
    	printerLbl.setBounds(30, 172, 110, 90);
    The source (a label to be dragged):
    Code:
            peripheralLabel = new JLabel("Peripherals", icon3, JLabel.CENTER);
    	// tell it to enable the transfer of the icon
    	peripheralLabel.setTransferHandler(new PictureTransferHandler());
    	peripheralLabel.setBackground(new Color(255, 255, 10));
    	peripheralLabel.setForeground(new Color(255, 255, 10));
    	peripheralLabel.setOpaque(true);
    	peripheralLabel.setBounds(298, 19, 127, 98);
    I then have a TestButton, which will try and check if there is a match
    between the source label and the destination label, based on a name or
    text description ?

    Hope this makes things a bit clearer...
