Thanks Grant - sounds promising - I'll get hold of that book and see if it
helps.
cheers,

Hi Anthony,
I'm a wxPython beginner but it just so happens I was recently
reading the section in "wxPython in Action" on dragging and
dropping text objects.
In the example (p.529) a new class DragController(wx.Control) was
defined.
The comment was """Just a little control to handle dragging the
text from a text control. We use a separate control so as not to
interfere with the native drag-select functionality of the native
text control."""
Is this likely to be relevant to your problem?
The example is quite involved and I haven't had time to get my head
right around it but I can certainly recommend the book. If I have
more time later I will try to be more useful.

All the best, Grant
