DropMode (Java Platform SE 6)

This documentation differs from the official API. Jadeite adds extra features to the API including: variable font sizes, constructions examples, placeholders for classes and methods, and auto-generated “See Also” links. Additionally it is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including: generics type information, “Deprecated” tags and comments, “See Also” links, along with other minor differences. Please send any questions or feedback to bam@cs.cmu.edu.

public final enum DropMode
extends Enum

Drop modes, used to determine the method by which a component tracks and indicates a drop location during drag and drop.

Field Summary
`static DropMode`	`INSERT` The drop location should be tracked in terms of the position where new data should be inserted.
`static DropMode`	`INSERT_COLS` The drop location should be tracked in terms of the column index where new columns should be inserted to accommodate the dropped data.
`static DropMode`	`INSERT_ROWS` The drop location should be tracked in terms of the row index where new rows should be inserted to accommodate the dropped data.
`static DropMode`	`ON` The drop location should be tracked in terms of the index of existing items.
`static DropMode`	`ON_OR_INSERT` This mode is a combination of `ON` and `INSERT`, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or in insert locations as specified by `INSERT`.
`static DropMode`	`ON_OR_INSERT_COLS` This mode is a combination of `ON` and `INSERT_COLS`, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or as insert columns as specified by `INSERT_COLS`.
`static DropMode`	`ON_OR_INSERT_ROWS` This mode is a combination of `ON` and `INSERT_ROWS`, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or as insert rows as specified by `INSERT_ROWS`.
`static DropMode`	`USE_SELECTION` A component's own internal selection mechanism (or caret for text components) should be used to track the drop location.

Field Detail

INSERT

public static final DropMode INSERT

The drop location should be tracked in terms of the position where new data should be inserted. For components that manage a list of items (list and tree for example), the drop location should indicate the index where new data should be inserted. For text components the location should represent a position between characters. For components that manage tabular data (table for example), the drop location should indicate where to insert new rows, columns, or both, to accommodate the dropped data.

INSERT_COLS

public static final DropMode INSERT_COLS

The drop location should be tracked in terms of the column index where new columns should be inserted to accommodate the dropped data. This is useful for components that manage tabular data.

INSERT_ROWS

public static final DropMode INSERT_ROWS

The drop location should be tracked in terms of the row index where new rows should be inserted to accommodate the dropped data. This is useful for components that manage tabular data.

ON

public static final DropMode ON

The drop location should be tracked in terms of the index of existing items. Useful for dropping on items in tables, lists, and trees.

ON_OR_INSERT

public static final DropMode ON_OR_INSERT

This mode is a combination of ON and INSERT, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or in insert locations as specified by INSERT.

ON_OR_INSERT_COLS

public static final DropMode ON_OR_INSERT_COLS

This mode is a combination of ON and INSERT_COLS, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or as insert columns as specified by INSERT_COLS.

ON_OR_INSERT_ROWS

public static final DropMode ON_OR_INSERT_ROWS

This mode is a combination of ON and INSERT_ROWS, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or as insert rows as specified by INSERT_ROWS.

USE_SELECTION

public static final DropMode USE_SELECTION

A component's own internal selection mechanism (or caret for text components) should be used to track the drop location.
