public class MouseDragEvent
extends MouseEvent

Mouse drag events are delivered to potential gesture targets during full press-drag-release gestures. The difference among different gesture types is described at MouseEvent.

Full press-drag-release gesture can be started by calling startFullDrag() (on a node or scene) inside of a DRAG_DETECTED event handler. This call activates delivering of MouseDragEvents to the nodes that are under cursor during the dragging gesture.

When you drag a node, it's still under cursor, so it is considered being a potential gesture target during the whole gesture. If you need to drag a node to a different node and let the other node know about it, you need to ensure that the nodes under the dragged node are picked as the potential gesture targets. You can achieve this by calling setMouseTransparent(true) on the dragged node in a MOUSE_PRESSED handler and returning it back to false in a MOUSE_RELEASED handler. This way the nodes under the dragged node will receive the MouseDragEvents, while all the MouseEvents will still be delivered to the (currently mouse transparent) gesture source.

The entered/exited events behave similarly to mouse entered/exited events, please see MouseEvent overview.

Field Detail

ANY

public static final EventType<MouseDragEvent> ANY

Common supertype for all mouse event types.

MOUSE_DRAG_OVER

public static final EventType<MouseDragEvent> MOUSE_DRAG_OVER

This event occurs when the gesture progresses within this node.

MOUSE_DRAG_RELEASED

public static final EventType<MouseDragEvent> MOUSE_DRAG_RELEASED

This event occurs when the gesture ends (by releasing mouse button) on this node.

MOUSE_DRAG_ENTERED_TARGET

public static final EventType<MouseDragEvent> MOUSE_DRAG_ENTERED_TARGET

This event occurs when the gesture enters a node. It's the bubbling variant, which is delivered also to all parents of the entered node (unless it was consumed). When notifications about mouse entering some of node's children are not desired, MOUSE_DRAG_ENTERED event handler should be used.

See Also:

MouseEvent for more information about mouse entered/exited handling which is similar

MOUSE_DRAG_ENTERED

public static final EventType<MouseDragEvent> MOUSE_DRAG_ENTERED

This event occurs when the gesture enters a node. This event type is delivered only to the entered node, if parents want to filter it or get the bubbling event, they need to use MOUSE_DRAG_ENTERED_TARGET.

MOUSE_DRAG_EXITED_TARGET

public static final EventType<MouseDragEvent> MOUSE_DRAG_EXITED_TARGET

This event occurs when the gesture exits a node. It's the bubbling variant, which is delivered also to all parents of the exited node (unless it was consumed). When notifications about mouse exiting some of node's children are not desired, MOUSE_DRAG_EXITED event handler should be used.

See Also:

MouseEvent for more information about mouse entered/exited handling which is similar

MOUSE_DRAG_EXITED

public static final EventType<MouseDragEvent> MOUSE_DRAG_EXITED

This event occurs when the gesture exits a node. This event type is delivered only to the exited node, if parents want to filter it or get the bubbling event, they need to use MOUSE_DRAG_EXITED_TARGET.

Method Detail

getGestureSource

public java.lang.Object getGestureSource()

Returns the source object of the ongoing gesture. Gesture source is the object that started the full press-drag-release gesture (by startFullDrag method being called on it).

Returns:

The source object of the gesture.
