Package Summary  Overview Summary

class:DragSourceEvent [NONE]
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
DragSourceDragEvent, DragSourceDropEvent
public class DragSourceEventextends EventObject
This class is the base class for DragSourceDragEvent and DragSourceDropEvent.

DragSourceEvents are generated whenever the drag enters, moves over, or exits a drop site, when the drop action changes, and when the drag ends. The location for the generated DragSourceEvent specifies the mouse cursor location in screen coordinates at the moment this event occurred.

In a multi-screen environment without a virtual device, the cursor location is specified in the coordinate system of the initiatorGraphicsConfiguration. The initiatorGraphicsConfiguration is the GraphicsConfiguration of the Component on which the drag gesture for the current drag operation was recognized. If the cursor location is outside the bounds of the initiator GraphicsConfiguration, the reported coordinates are clipped to fit within the bounds of that GraphicsConfiguration.

In a multi-screen environment with a virtual device, the location is specified in the corresponding virtual coordinate system. If the cursor location is outside the bounds of the virtual device the reported coordinates are clipped to fit within the bounds of the virtual device.

constructor:DragSourceEvent(java.awt.dnd.DragSourceContext) [NONE]

  • DragSourceEvent

    public DragSourceEvent (DragSourceContext dsc)

    Parameters:
    dsc - the DragSourceContext
    x - the horizontal coordinate for the cursor location
    y - the vertical coordinate for the cursor location

    1.4

    method:getX() [NONE]

    getX

    public int getX()
    This method returns the horizontal coordinate of the cursor location in screen coordinates at the moment this event occurred, or zero if the cursor location is not specified for this event.
    Returns:
    an integer indicating the horizontal coordinate of the cursor location or zero if the cursor location is not specified
