Fwd: Drag and touch gestures

[cogmission1 .]

Hi,

I believe I read something about this recently. I believe the solution has
something to do with setting "mouse transparency" (not absolutely sure of
the method name) on the widget in the touch handlers so that the underlying
drag mechanism can receive the event - then setting transparency false
after the drag event is complete so that touch events are once again
available to the widget after the drop. Make any sense? Maybe someone more
familiar can elaborate on the details, but I believe the solution is very
similar to what I've described.

Cheers,

David
