Dragging Elements into the Component Window

Some elements can be created by dragging an item from the file system into a component window. These include:

• Components (see Reusable Components )

• Client-side Java components (see WOApplets )

• Image files and image maps (see Dynamic Images )

Certain file types (such as .gif , .jpeg , .tif , .eps , and .bmp ) are automatically recognized by WebObjects Builder. The Preferences Panel (which you display by choosing Tools Options) shows a list of file extensions that WebObjects Builder accepts. You can drag any item with one of those file extensions into a component window, and the item will be added to your project. You can add file types if you need them.
