Why Tablayout Wont Fire Off The Dropcallback?

why tabLayout wont fire off the dropCallback? dragCallback is alright but not dropCallback.

I tried to search the boards but with no luck.

what Im trying to do is to build a UIbuilder which has a control list and a template window. you can drag the controls from the control list window to the template window, then drag it around to reposition and resize(ctrl + MMB then type in the new size, since i cant find a way to do drag-resize with mel, or is there?) the control in the tamplate window. I just started, so far I done the formLayout and button with no problem.

If the tabLayout mean not to fire off the dropCallback for some reason. then is there a way around?

Thanks in advance!

your doing the same thing as me then im testing this. I supect the tab controll isnt the box undernearh but just the tab istelf as theres lots of things like this you cant do with a tab.

Well... im experimenting with a workaround ill let you know if it works out. At currenbt time i have 2 avenues left to explore.

Cool !! It is really good to know we are doing the same thing.

Drag resize the control is one thing, but what about the tabLayout and dropCallback? Why tabLayout wont fire off the dropCallback?

Hope you find a workaround!

Well actually im doing something that will eventually be a editor that lets you edit the exsisting maya gui. long way off tough since i don't personally need it for anything i can already do it by typing. But its rather for other people.
