public class DragSourceDragEvent

extends DragSourceEvent

The DragSourceDragEvent is delivered from the DragSourceContextPeer, via the DragSourceContext, to the DragSourceListener registered with that DragSourceContext and with its associated DragSource.

The DragSourceDragEvent reports the target drop action and the user drop action that reflect the current state of the drag operation.

Target drop action is one of DnDConstants that represents the drop action selected by the current drop target if this drop action is supported by the drag source or DnDConstants.ACTION_NONE if this drop action is not supported by the drag source.

User drop action depends on the drop actions supported by the drag source and the drop action selected by the user. The user can select a drop action by pressing modifier keys during the drag operation:

 
   Ctrl + Shift -> ACTION_LINK
   Ctrl         -> ACTION_COPY
   Shift        -> ACTION_MOVE
 

If the user doesn't select a drop action, the set of DnDConstants that represents the set of drop actions supported by the drag source is searched for DnDConstants.ACTION_MOVE, then for DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY, then for DnDConstants.ACTION_LINK and the user drop action is the first constant found. If no constant is found the user drop action is DnDConstants.ACTION_NONE.

Constructor Detail

DragSourceDragEvent

public DragSourceDragEvent(DragSourceContext dsc,
                           int dropAction,
                           int actions,
                           int modifiers)

Constructs a DragSourceDragEvent. This class is typically instantiated by the DragSourceContextPeer rather than directly by client code. The coordinates for this DragSourceDragEvent are not specified, so getLocation will return null for this event.

Parameters:

dsc - the DragSourceContext that is to manage notifications for this event.

dropAction - the user drop action.

actions - the target drop action.

modifiers - the modifier keys down during event (shift, ctrl, alt, meta) Either extended _DOWN_MASK or old _MASK modifiers should be used, but both models should not be mixed in one event. Use of the extended modifiers is preferred.

DragSourceDragEvent

public DragSourceDragEvent(DragSourceContext dsc,
                           int dropAction,
                           int actions,
                           int modifiers,
                           int x,
                           int y)

Constructs a DragSourceDragEvent given the specified DragSourceContext, user drop action, target drop action, modifiers and coordinates.

Parameters:

dsc - the DragSourceContext associated with this event.

dropAction - the user drop action.

actions - the target drop action.

modifiers - the modifier keys down during event (shift, ctrl, alt, meta) Either extended _DOWN_MASK or old _MASK modifiers should be used, but both models should not be mixed in one event. Use of the extended modifiers is preferred.

x - the horizontal coordinate for the cursor location

y - the vertical coordinate for the cursor location
