Class DropTargetContext

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public class DropTargetContext
extends Object
implements Serializable

A DropTargetContext is created whenever the logical cursor associated with a Drag and Drop operation coincides with the visible geometry of a Component associated with a DropTarget. The DropTargetContext provides the mechanism for a potential receiver of a drop operation to both provide the end user with the appropriate drag under feedback, but also to effect the subsequent data transfer if appropriate.

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type Class Description
protected class  DropTargetContext.TransferableProxy

TransferableProxy is a helper inner class that implements Transferable interface and serves as a proxy for another Transferable object which represents data transfer for a particular drag-n-drop operation.

Methods
