Class DropTargetPlugin

java.lang.Object
  oracle.javatools.editor.plugins.DropTargetPlugin

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.awt.dnd.DropTargetListener, EditorPlugin, java.util.EventListener, java.beans.PropertyChangeListener

Direct Known Subclasses:

DragDropPlugin

public class DropTargetPlugin

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.awt.dnd.DropTargetListener, EditorPlugin

The DropTargetPlugin is an editor plugin which adds drop support to the BasicEditorPane so that it can accept drop operations for Drag-n-Drop. This does not provide support for initiating a drag operation from the editor however.

Field Summary

protected static EditDescriptor	DROP_DESCRIPTOR The edit (undo) descriptor for a drop operation.
protected static int	DROP_RECT_WIDTH The width of the drop rectangle to paint - since drawRect() is used, a width of 1 is a thickness of 2.
protected java.awt.dnd.DropTarget	dropTarget The drop target associated with the editor.
protected BasicEditorPane	editor The editor that this plugin is installed into.
protected java.awt.Rectangle	lastDropRect The last drop rectangle that was painted.
protected static java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor	PLAIN_FLAVOR The plain text flavor to use.

Constructor Detail

DropTargetPlugin

public DropTargetPlugin()

Constructs a new DropTargetPlugin instance that adds drop capability to the editor for text drops.

Method Detail

install

public void install(BasicEditorPane editor)

Called when this plugin is being installed into the BasicEditorPane.

Specified by:

install in interface EditorPlugin

Parameters:

editor - the editor pane

deinstall

public void deinstall(BasicEditorPane editor)

Called when the plugin is being removed from the BasicEditorPane (for example when the editor is closed.) This is used to notify plugins that they should unregister any listeners that were attached.

Specified by:

deinstall in interface EditorPlugin

Parameters:

editor - the editor pane

propertyChange

public void propertyChange(java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent event)

This method gets called when a bound property is changed.

Specified by:

propertyChange in interface java.beans.PropertyChangeListener

Parameters:

event - A PropertyChangeEvent object describing the event source and the property that has changed.

dragEnter

public void dragEnter(java.awt.dnd.DropTargetDragEvent event)

Called when a drag operation has encountered the DropTarget.

Specified by:

dragEnter in interface java.awt.dnd.DropTargetListener

Parameters:

event - the DropTargetDragEvent that occurred

dragOver

public void dragOver(java.awt.dnd.DropTargetDragEvent event)

Called when a drag operation is ongoing on the DropTarget.

Specified by:

dragOver in interface java.awt.dnd.DropTargetListener

Parameters:

event - the DropTargetDragEvent that occurred

dropActionChanged

public void dropActionChanged(java.awt.dnd.DropTargetDragEvent event)

Called if the user has modified the current drop gesture.

Specified by:

dropActionChanged in interface java.awt.dnd.DropTargetListener

Parameters:

event - the DropTargetDragEvent that occurred

dragExit

public void dragExit(java.awt.dnd.DropTargetEvent event)

The drag operation has departed the DropTarget without dropping.

Specified by:

dragExit in interface java.awt.dnd.DropTargetListener

Parameters:

event - the DropTargetEvent that occurred

drop

public void drop(java.awt.dnd.DropTargetDropEvent event)

The drag operation has terminated with a drop on this DropTarget. This method is responsible for undertaking the transfer of the data associated with the gesture. The DropTargetDropEvent provides a means to obtain a Transferable object that represents the data object(s) to be transfered.

From this method, the DropTargetListener shall accept or reject the drop via the acceptDrop(int dropAction) or rejectDrop() methods of the DropTargetDropEvent parameter.

Subsequent to acceptDrop(), but not before, DropTargetDropEvent's getTransferable() method may be invoked, and data transfer may be performed via the returned Transferable's getTransferData() method.

At the completion of a drop, an implementation of this method is required to signal the success/failure of the drop by passing an appropriate boolean to the DropTargetDropEvent's dropComplete(boolean success) method.

Note: The actual processing of the data transfer is not required to finish before this method returns. It may be deferred until later.

Specified by:

drop in interface java.awt.dnd.DropTargetListener

event - the DropTargetDropEvent that occurred

the editor document
