Class DropTargetContext

  +--java.awt.dnd.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 Class Summary

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	acceptDrag(int dragOperation) accept the Drag.
protected void	acceptDrop(int dropOperation) called to signal that the drop is acceptable using the specified operation.
void	addNotify(java.awt.dnd.peer.DropTargetContextPeer dtcp) Called when associated with the DropTargetContextPeer.
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	getCurrentDataFlavorsAsList() This method returns a 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.
void	removeNotify() Called when disassociated with the DropTargetContextPeer.
protected void	setTargetActions(int actions) This method sets the current actions acceptable to this DropTarget.
