That won't be only a little code! First of all, you have to somehow write code, that reacts to you wanting to drag the name from the JTextField (maybe a MouseListener?), then you'll have to make sure it will be draged, next thing you will have to tell the JTextArea what to do, when it gets a Filename draged onto it.

It would be much easier to just have a "Load" Button, which starts a function to read out the Filename from the JTextField, find the File and open the contents in the JTextArea.

By the way, why would you want to have a Filename in a TextField and then want to drag it?

As Nepomuk suggested: just have a 'load' button. I'd take it a step further and
get rid of the JTextField altogether and have that "load" button popup a
JFileChooser; users are used to those things and you have to write less code
if you do it this way ("less is better" when it comes to program code).

kind regards,
