Class DragSourceContext

java.lang.Object
  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 to interpose itself between the platform and the listeners provided by the initiator of the drag operation.

Since:

1.2

DragSourceContext

public DragSourceContext(java.awt.dnd.peer.DragSourceContextPeer dscp,
                         DragGestureEvent trigger,
                         Cursor dragCursor,

                         Point offset,
                         Transferable t,
                         DragSourceListener dsl)

Called from DragSource, this constructor creates a new DragSourceContext given the DragSourceContextPeer for this Drag, the DragGestureEvent that triggered the Drag, the initial Cursor to use for the Drag, an (optional) Image to display while the Drag is taking place, the offset of the Image origin from the hotspot at the instant of the triggering event, the Transferable subject data, and the DragSourceListener to use during the Drag and Drop operation.
If DragSourceContextPeer is null NullPointerException is thrown.
If DragGestureEvent is null NullPointerException is thrown.
If Cursor is null no exception is thrown and the default drag cursor behavior is activated for this drag operation.
If Image is null no exception is thrown.
If Image is not null and the offset is null NullPointerException is thrown.
If Transferable is null NullPointerException is thrown.
If DragSourceListener is null no exception is thrown.

Parameters:

dscp - the DragSourceContextPeer for this drag

trigger - the triggering event

dragCursor - the initial Cursor

dragImage - the Image to drag (or null)

offset - the offset of the image origin from the hotspot at the instant of the triggering event

t - the Transferable

dsl - the DragSourceListener

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the Component associated with the trigger event is null.

IllegalArgumentException - if the DragSource for the trigger event is null.

IllegalArgumentException - if the drag action for the trigger event is DnDConstants.ACTION_NONE.

IllegalArgumentException - if the source actions for the DragGestureRecognizer associated with the trigger event are equal to DnDConstants.ACTION_NONE.

NullPointerException - if dscp, trigger, or t are null, or if dragImage is non-null and offset is null
