Class DropTargetContext

java.lang.Object

java.awt.dnd.DropTargetContext

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable

public final 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 Class Summary

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.

Method Summary

`protected void`	`acceptDrop(int dropOperation)`	called to signal that the drop is acceptable using the specified operation.
`protected Transferable`	`createTransferableProxy(Transferable t, boolean local)`	Creates a TransferableProxy to proxy for the specified Transferable.
`void`	`dropComplete(boolean success)`	This method signals that the drop is completed and if it was successful or not.
`Component`	`getComponent()`	This method returns the `Component` associated with this `DropTargetContext`.
`protected DataFlavor[]`	`getCurrentDataFlavors()`	get the available DataFlavors of the `Transferable` operand of this operation.
`protected List<DataFlavor>`	`getCurrentDataFlavorsAsList()`	This method returns the currently available DataFlavors of the `Transferable` operand as a `java.util.List`.
`DropTarget`	`getDropTarget()`	This method returns the `DropTarget` associated with this `DropTargetContext`.
`protected int`	`getTargetActions()`	This method returns an `int` representing the current actions this `DropTarget` will accept.
`protected Transferable`	`getTransferable()`	get the Transferable (proxy) operand of this operation
`protected boolean`	`isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor df)`	This method returns a `boolean` indicating if the given `DataFlavor` is supported by this `DropTargetContext`.
`protected void`	`rejectDrag()`	reject the Drag.
`protected void`	`rejectDrop()`	called to signal that the drop is unacceptable.
`protected void`	`setTargetActions(int actions)`	This method sets the current actions acceptable to this `DropTarget`.
