Drag-to-rearrange list view of JPanels?

[pulsar stream]

I'm looking for a Swing component that displays a list of JPanels in a vertical list.
The JPanels are wrapped such that one side of the container has a drag handle.
The handle lets the user drags to rearrange the elements.
The JPanels must be responsive, unlike a JList (paints, reorders, doesn't respond).
A nice to have might be a "trash slot" where items can be dragged to remove them from the list.

Do you know of such a component in the wild? Please share.

For DragHandle, Personally I used Transfer Handler back then.

however it isn't optimized for reordering UI panels with custom handles

For an example: Might be good to look at

[DragLayout.java] (https://github.com/tips4java/tips4java/blob/main/source/DragLayout.java)
[ComponentMover.java] (https://github.com/tips4java/tips4java/blob/main/source/ComponentMover.java)

Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Sorry I couldn't help. Not sure if this is what you are talking about?

JList with drag n drop

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/dnd/

the "paints, reorders, doesnt respond" sounds like poor usage of the jlist api

because the first is a non-issue: it needs ro be repainted

reordering only occurs on request, you can feed the list the exact order you want

"doesnt respond" is basically the same as "my code doesnt work", which doesnt give us enough info to help proper

but jlist with dnd could achieve what you're asking about

its how most handle it in a swing environment

don't like it? stop using swing

yep

[frank lotus]

if you're forced to use swing, then jlist with dnd is the route

if it becomes a performance bottleneck, youre probably doing it wrong
