Hiya
I have searched the forum and used the same exact code that I have found, yet it doesn't work.
the code I looked at says to do this..

    
    
    
    
    oDialog::Message(msg)  
    {  
     if(msg->GetId() == BFM_DRAGRECEIVE)
    
    
    
    
    ..

but console quickly gets filled up with member not found errors on the if statement. It seems the msg doesn't have a GetID() member.
The COFFEE SDK on the other hand says to do something like this

    
    
    
    
    oDialog::Message(msg)  
    {  
      if (msg->GetData(BFM_DRAG_FINISHED))  
      {  
            if (CheckDropArea(DRAG_TEST, msg))  
            {  
              var obj = GetDragObject(msg);  
              var result = new(BaseContainer, BFM_DRAGRESULT);  
              result->SetData(BFM_DRAGRESULT_CURSOR, MOUSE_POINT_HAND);  
              return result;  
            }
    
    
    
    
      }  
      return super::Message(msg);  
    }

but that errors on line var result = new(BaseContainer, BFM_DRAGRESULT); with 'Variable or Function expected'

What am i doing wrong? which way is correct?

Also if it sounds arrogant but that´s a good exercise to get into COFFEE. Without obstacles or problems, it would take longer to learn it than without them.

I found out what it was. It was a silly amatuer mistake. Wrong case-sensitivity
My code was

    
    
    
    
    oDialog::Message(msg)  
    {
    
    
    
    
      if(msg->GetID() == BFM_DRAGRECEIVE)  
      {  
      }
    
    
    
    
    }

->GetID() should have been ->GetId()
silly me
