DropTargetContext (Java Platform SE 7 )

java.lang.Object
- 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.

Since:

1.2

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes
Modifier and Type	Class and 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

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`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<DataFlavor>`	`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`.
