Interface TextDnDListener

All Superinterfaces:

public interface TextDnDListener
extends SWTExtension

Text Drag and Drop listener interface for the SWT implementation. The TextDnDListener class provides event notification to the Oxygen extension for DropTarget events occurring in the Text page.

As the user moves the cursor into, over and out of the text editor page, events indicate what operation can be performed and what data can be transferred if a drop where to occur at that point. The listener can respond to these events and change the type of data that will be dropped by modifying event.currentDataType, or change the operation that will be performed by modifying the event.detail field or stop any drop from happening on the current target by setting the event.detail field to DND_DROP_NONE.

When the user causes a drop to happen by releasing the mouse over the text editor page, the listener has one last chance to change the data type of the drop through the DropAccept event. If the drop is still allowed, the DropAccept event is immediately followed by the Drop event. In the Drop event, the listener can still change the operation that is performed but the data type is fixed.
