DragSourceListener JDK 1.6)

Description

public interface DragSourceListener

The DragSourceListener defines the event interface for originators of Drag and Drop operations to track the state of the user's gesture, and to provide appropriate "drag over" feedback to the user throughout the Drag and Drop operation.

The drop site is associated with the previous dragEnter() invocation if the latest invocation of dragEnter() on this listener:

corresponds to that drop site and
is not followed by a dragExit() invocation on this listener.

Methods

Hide/Show inherited methods

public void dragDropEnd (DragSourceDropEvent dsde)

This method is invoked to signify that the Drag and Drop operation is complete.

This method is invoked to signify that the Drag and Drop
operation is complete. The getDropSuccess() method of
the DragSourceDropEvent can be used to
determine the termination state. The getDropAction() method
returns the operation that the drop site selected
to apply to the Drop operation. Once this method is complete, the
current DragSourceContext and
associated resources become invalid.
Parameters:
- dsde - the DragSourceDropEvent

public void dragEnter (DragSourceDragEvent dsde)

Called as the cursor's hotspot enters a platform-dependent drop site.

Called as the cursor's hotspot enters a platform-dependent drop site.
This method is invoked when all the following conditions are true:

The cursor's hotspot enters the operable part of a platform-
dependent drop site.
The drop site is active.
The drop site accepts the drag.

Parameters:
- dsde - the DragSourceDragEvent

public void dragExit (DragSourceEvent dse)

Called as the cursor's hotspot exits a platform-dependent drop site.

Called as the cursor's hotspot exits a platform-dependent drop site.
This method is invoked when any of the following conditions are true:

The cursor's hotspot no longer intersects the operable part
of the drop site associated with the previous dragEnter() invocation.

The drop site associated with the previous dragEnter() invocation
is no longer active.

The drop site associated with the previous dragEnter() invocation
has rejected the drag.

Parameters:
- dse - the DragSourceEvent

public void dragOver (DragSourceDragEvent dsde)

Called as the cursor's hotspot moves over a platform-dependent drop site.

Called as the cursor's hotspot moves over a platform-dependent drop site.
This method is invoked when all the following conditions are true:

The cursor's hotspot has moved, but still intersects the
operable part of the drop site associated with the previous
dragEnter() invocation.
The drop site is still active.
The drop site accepts the drag.

Parameters:
- dsde - the DragSourceDragEvent

public void dropActionChanged (DragSourceDragEvent dsde)

Called when the user has modified the drop gesture.

Called when the user has modified the drop gesture.
This method is invoked when the state of the input
device(s) that the user is interacting with changes.
Such devices are typically the mouse buttons or keyboard
modifiers that the user is interacting with.
Parameters:
- dsde - the DragSourceDragEvent
