java.awt.dnd
Class DragSourceContext

java.lang.Object
  extended by java.awt.dnd.DragSourceContext
All Implemented Interfaces:
DragSourceListener, DragSourceMotionListener, Serializable, EventListener

public class DragSourceContext
extends Object
implements DragSourceListener, DragSourceMotionListener, Serializable

The DragSourceContext class is responsible for managing the initiator side of the Drag and Drop protocol. In particular, it is responsible for managing drag event notifications to the DragSourceListeners and DragSourceMotionListeners, and providing the Transferable representing the source data for the drag operation.

Note that the DragSourceContext itself implements the DragSourceListener and DragSourceMotionListener interfaces. This is to allow the platform peer (the DragSourceContextPeer instance) created by the DragSource to notify the DragSourceContext of state changes in the ongoing operation. This allows the DragSourceContext object to interpose itself between the platform and the listeners provided by the initiator of the drag operation.

By default, DragSourceContext sets the cursor as appropriate for the current state of the drag and drop operation. For example, if the user has chosen the move action, and the pointer is over a target that accepts the move action, the default move cursor is shown. When the pointer is over an area that does not accept the transfer, the default "no drop" cursor is shown.

This default handling mechanism is disabled when a custom cursor is set by the setCursor(java.awt.Cursor) method. When the default handling is disabled, it becomes the responsibility of the developer to keep the cursor up to date, by listening to the DragSource events and calling the setCursor() method. Alternatively, you can provide custom cursor behavior by providing custom implementations of the DragSource and the DragSourceContext classes.
