Oh, I was thinking of an example I made years ago: > [@Drag and drop from tag browse tree to power table](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/drag-and-drop-from-tag-browse-tree-to-power-table/15260/3): > > Here’s a sample window I came up with a while back. Note that is pretty low-level Java Swing stuff - so you’re on your own merits to figure out how it all works. Also, don’t even try and call into support about this. [Power Table Tags Dropped.proj](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/7/70c831f665ee8ad4a4167c49a595750bf5859a8b.proj) (19.9 KB) For a brief explanation: The initialize() function of the power table fires the addListener() custom method, which creates an instance of a custom [DropTargetListener](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/dnd/DropTargetListener.html). That custom DropTargetListener has an overridden drop() function… You're welcome to do that, but @lrose is absolutely correct - skipping drag and drop is going to be a lot more maintainable. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/drag-and-drop-to-list-component/44077)._
