Add support for autoscroll inside a scrollable div while drag operation active in panelGroup

    Details

      Description

      I had the same error as vicky49.
      In my case I use a tree as an Explorer to cut and paste nodes with drag and drop.
      Example:
      <ice:panelGroup scrollHeight="500px" id="scroll_id">
      <ice:tree ...
      <ice:treeNode>
      ...
      <ice:panelGroup draggable="true"
      dropTarget="true"
      dropTargetScrollerId="scroll_id"
      ...
      >
      ...
      </ice:panelGroup>
      </ice:treeNode>
      </ice:tree>
      </ice:panelGroup>

      The tree is located, as shown above, in a Scrollable Div. The scroll bars will be shown, if the nodes are expanded. In order to drop a node in another unseen node you have to scroll the area. Actually you can only do it with the arrow keys. An autoscroll is not implemented.

      After copious research, I found the "scroll" attribute in the Draggable function in the script.aculo.us framework. This enables the auto scroll function using drag and drop. If a node is hovered over the bottom of the Scrollable Div, the area is automatically scrolled down.

      In order to add this feature, I changed the GroupRenderer.java and DragDrop.java class and used 'dropTargetScrollerId' as scroll id.
      I overloaded the DragDrop.addDragable and called them in the GroupRenderer as you can see in the following lines:

      String scrollid = (String) uiComponent.getAttributes().get("dropTargetScrollerId");
                  if (scrollid != null && scrollid.trim().length() > 0) {
                      calls += DragDrop.addDragable(uiComponent, uiComponent.getClientId(facesContext), handleId,
                              dragOptions, dragMask, facesContext);
                  } else {
                      calls += DragDrop.addDragable(uiComponent.getClientId(facesContext), handleId, dragOptions, dragMask,
                              facesContext);
                  }

      In the DragDrop class I get the correct part of the id:
      String scrollid = (String) uiComponent.getAttributes().get("dropTargetScrollerId");
              if (scrollid != null && scrollid.trim().length() > 0) {
                  UIComponent scroller = D2DViewHandler.findComponentInView(facesContext.getViewRoot(), scrollid);
                  if (scroller != null) {
                      scrollid = scroller.getClientId(facesContext);
                  }
              }

      And add the id as an attribute to the JavaScript function:
      if (scrollid != null && scrollid.trim().length() > 0) {
                  ea.add("scroll", scrollid);
              }

      Could you implement a similar feature in the next version, please?
      In version 2.0 it is also not implemented.
