- DragSourceListener, DragSourceMotionListener, Serializable, EventListener
public class DragSourceContext extends Object implements DragSourceListener, DragSourceMotionListener, Serializable
TheDragSourceContext
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 theTransferable
representing the source data for the drag operation.Note that the
DragSourceContext
itself implements theDragSourceListener
andDragSourceMotionListener
interfaces. This is to allow the platform peer (theDragSourceContextPeer
instance) created by theDragSource
to notify theDragSourceContext
of state changes in the ongoing operation. This allows theDragSourceContext
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 theDragSource
events and calling thesetCursor()
method. Alternatively, you can provide custom cursor behavior by providing custom implementations of theDragSource
and theDragSourceContext
classes.- Since:
