1\section{\class{wxDropTarget}}\label{wxdroptarget}
2
3This class represents a target for a drag and drop operation. A \helpref{wxDataObject}{wxdataobject}
4can be associated with it and by default, this object will be filled with the data from the
5drag source, if the data formats supported by the data object match the drag source data
6format.
7
8There are various virtual handler functions defined in this class which may be overridden
9to give visual feedback or react in a more fine-tuned way, e.g. by not accepting data on
10the whole window area, but only a small portion of it. The normal sequence of calls is
11\helpref{OnEnter}{wxdroptargetonenter}, possibly many times \helpref{OnDragOver}{wxdroptargetondragover},
12\helpref{OnDrop}{wxdroptargetondrop} and finally \helpref{OnData}{wxdroptargetondata}.

27\index{wxDragResult}wxDragResult is defined as follows:
28
29\begin{verbatim}
30enum wxDragResult
31{
32 wxDragError, // error prevented the d&d operation from completing
33 wxDragNone, // drag target didn't accept the data
34 wxDragCopy, // the data was successfully copied
35 wxDragMove, // the data was successfully moved (MSW only)
36 wxDragLink, // operation is a drag-link
37 wxDragCancel // the operation was cancelled by user (not an error)
38};

49\membersection{wxDropTarget::wxDropTarget}\label{wxdroptargetwxdroptarget}
50
51\func{}{wxDropTarget}{\param{wxDataObject*}{ data = NULL}}
52
53Constructor. {\it data} is the data to be associated with the drop target.
54
55\membersection{wxDropTarget::\destruct{wxDropTarget}}\label{wxdroptargetdtor}
56
57\func{}{\destruct{wxDropTarget}}{\void}
58
59Destructor. Deletes the associated data object, if any.
60
61\membersection{wxDropTarget::GetData}\label{wxdroptargetgetdata}
62
63\func{virtual void}{GetData}{\void}
64
65This method may only be called from within \helpref{OnData}{wxdroptargetondata}.
66By default, this method copies the data from the drop source to the
67\helpref{wxDataObject}{wxdataobject} associated with this drop target,
68calling its \helpref{wxDataObject::SetData}{wxdataobjectsetdata} method.
69
70\membersection{wxDropTarget::OnData}\label{wxdroptargetondata}
71
72\func{virtual wxDragResult}{OnData}{\param{wxCoord}{ x}, \param{wxCoord}{ y}, \param{wxDragResult}{ def}}
73
74Called after \helpref{OnDrop}{wxdroptargetondrop} returns true. By default this
75will usually \helpref{GetData}{wxdroptargetgetdata} and will return the suggested
76default value {\it def}.
77
78\membersection{wxDropTarget::OnDrop}\label{wxdroptargetondrop}
79
80\func{virtual bool}{OnDrop}{\param{wxCoord }{x}, \param{wxCoord }{y}}
81
82Called when the user drops a data object on the target. Return false to veto the operation.
83
84\wxheading{Parameters}
85
86\docparam{x}{The x coordinate of the mouse.}
87
88\docparam{y}{The y coordinate of the mouse.}
89
90\wxheading{Return value}
91
92Return true to accept the data, false to veto the operation.
93
94\membersection{wxDropTarget::OnEnter}\label{wxdroptargetonenter}
95
96\func{virtual wxDragResult}{OnEnter}{\param{wxCoord}{ x}, \param{wxCoord}{ y}, \param{wxDragResult}{ def}}
97
98Called when the mouse enters the drop target. By default, this calls \helpref{OnDragOver}{wxdroptargetondragover}.
99
100\wxheading{Parameters}
101
102\docparam{x}{The x coordinate of the mouse.}
103
104\docparam{y}{The y coordinate of the mouse.}
105
106\docparam{def}{Suggested default for return value. Determined by SHIFT or CONTROL key states.}
107
108\wxheading{Return value}
109
110Returns the desired operation or {\tt wxDragNone}. This is used for optical feedback
111from the side of the drop source, typically in form of changing the icon.
112
113\membersection{wxDropTarget::OnDragOver}\label{wxdroptargetondragover}
114
115\func{virtual wxDragResult}{OnDragOver}{\param{wxCoord}{ x}, \param{wxCoord}{ y}, \param{wxDragResult}{ def}}
116
117Called when the mouse is being dragged over the drop target. By default,
118this calls functions return the suggested return value {\it def}.
119
120\wxheading{Parameters}
121
122\docparam{x}{The x coordinate of the mouse.}
123
124\docparam{y}{The y coordinate of the mouse.}
125
126\docparam{def}{Suggested value for return value. Determined by SHIFT or CONTROL key states.}
127
128\wxheading{Return value}
129
130Returns the desired operation or {\tt wxDragNone}. This is used for optical feedback
131from the side of the drop source, typically in form of changing the icon.
132
133\membersection{wxDropTarget::OnLeave}\label{wxdroptargetonleave}
134
135\func{virtual void}{OnLeave}{\void}
136
137Called when the mouse leaves the drop target.
138
139\membersection{wxDropTarget::SetDataObject}\label{wxdroptargetsetdataobject}
140
141\func{void}{SetDataObject}{\param{wxDataObject*}{ data}}
142
143Sets the data \helpref{wxDataObject}{wxdataobject} associated with the
144drop target and deletes any previously associated data object.
