Class DragSourceEvent

    java.lang.Object
      java.util.EventObject
          java.awt.dnd.DragSourceEvent

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:
  DragSourceDragEvent, DragSourceDropEvent

public class DragSourceEvent
extends EventObject

This class is the base class for `DragSourceDragEvent` and `DragSourceDropEvent`.

`DragSourceEvent`s 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 occured.

In a multi-screen environment without a virtual device, the cursor location is specified in the coordinate system of the initiator `GraphicsConfiguration`. The initiator `GraphicsConfiguration` 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 Summary
`DragSourceEvent(DragSourceContext dsc)` Construct a `DragSourceEvent` given a specified `DragSourceContext`.

Constructor Detail

### DragSourceEvent

    public DragSourceEvent(DragSourceContext dsc)

  Construct a `DragSourceEvent` given a specified `DragSourceContext`. The coordinates for this `DragSourceEvent` are not specified, so `getLocation` will return `null` for this event.

Parameters:
  `dsc` - the `DragSourceContext`
See Also:
  `getLocation()`

### DragSourceEvent

    public DragSourceEvent(DragSourceContext dsc,
                           int x,
                           int y)

  Construct a `DragSourceEvent` given a specified `DragSourceContext`, and coordinates of the cursor location.

Parameters:
  `dsc` - the `DragSourceContext`
  `x` - the horizontal coordinate for the cursor location
  `y` - the vertical coordinate for the cursor location
Since:
  1.4

Method Detail

### getDragSourceContext

    public DragSourceContext getDragSourceContext()

  This method returns the `DragSourceContext` that originated the event.

  Returns:
    the `DragSourceContext` that originated the event

### getLocation

    public Point getLocation()

  This method returns a `Point` indicating the cursor location in screen coordinates at the moment this event occured, or `null` if the cursor location is not specified for this event.

  Returns:
    the `Point` indicating the cursor location or `null` if the cursor location is not specified
  Since:
    1.4

### getX

    public int getX()

  This method returns the horizontal coordinate of the cursor location in screen coordinates at the moment this event occured, 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
  Since:
    1.4

### getY

    public int getY()

  This method returns the vertical coordinate of the cursor location in screen coordinates at the moment this event occured, or zero if the cursor location is not specified for this event.

  Returns:
    an integer indicating the vertical coordinate of the cursor location or zero if the cursor location is not specified
  Since:
    1.4
