36 This class represents a target for a drag and drop operation. A
37 wxDataObject can be associated with it and by default, this object will be
38 filled with the data from the drag source, if the data formats supported by
39 the data object match the drag source data format.
40
41 There are various virtual handler functions defined in this class which may
42 be overridden to give visual feedback or react in a more fine-tuned way,
43 e.g. by not accepting data on the whole window area, but only a small
44 portion of it. The normal sequence of calls is OnEnter(), OnDragOver()
45 possibly many times, OnDrop() and finally OnData().
