-
- java.awt.dnd.DropTarget
-
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- DropTargetListener, Serializable, EventListener
public class DropTarget extends Object implements DropTargetListener, Serializable
TheDropTarget
is associated with aComponent
when thatComponent
wishes to accept drops during Drag and Drop operations.Each
DropTarget
is associated with aFlavorMap
. The defaultFlavorMap
hereafter designates theFlavorMap
returned bySystemFlavorMap.getDefaultFlavorMap()

-
peer
- The Peer of the Component we are associated with!

createDropTargetContext
protected DropTargetContext createDropTargetContext()
Creates the DropTargetContext associated with this DropTarget. Subclasses may override this method to instantiate their own DropTargetContext subclass. This call is typically *only* called by the platform's DropTargetContextPeer as a drag operation encounters this DropTarget. Accessing the Context while no Drag is current has undefined results.
createDropTargetAutoScroller

create an embedded autoscroller- Parameters:
-
c
- theComponent
-
p
- thePoint
initializeAutoscrolling
protected void initializeAutoscrolling(Point p)
initialize autoscrolling- Parameters:
-
p
- thePoint
updateAutoscroll
protected void updateAutoscroll(Point dragCursorLocn)
update autoscrolling with current cursor location- Parameters:
