    @class wxDropTarget

    This class represents a target for a drag and drop operation. A
    wxDataObject can be associated with it and by default, this object will be
    filled with the data from the drag source, if the data formats supported by
    the data object match the drag source data format.

    There are various virtual handler functions defined in this class which may
    be overridden to give visual feedback or react in a more fine-tuned way,
    e.g. by not accepting data on the whole window area, but only a small
    portion of it. The normal sequence of calls is OnEnter(), OnDragOver()
    possibly many times, OnDrop() and finally OnData().
