Drag & Drop in AIMMS Trees

Description

Between the seven available AIMMS tools, drag & drop support is implemented. Drag and drop commands are activated by dragging a node selection from one position in the tree to another position (in the same or even another tree) while holding the left mouse button down.

The available drag & drop features can be divided into the following four categories.

  • Copy (C) support, indicated in AIMMS by a img_def_Cursor_Copy_bmp cursor. The copy command is activated by holding down the <Ctrl> key while dragging.

  • Move (M) support, indicated in AIMMS by a img_def_Cursor_Move_bmp cursor.

  • Find (F) support, indicated in AIMMS by a img_def_Cursor_Find_bmp cursor. The find command is activated by holding down the <Ctrl> and <Shift> key simultaneously while dragging

  • Add Into (A) support, indicated in AIMMS by a img_def_Cursor_Add_Into_bmp cursor.

Tips & Tricks

  • To find all duplicate nodes of a certain node, select the node and drag the node somewhere in the same tree while holding down the <Ctrl> and <Shift> key simultaneously.

The following table describes the availability of drag & drop features between every two AIMMS tools.
