Class DropTargetContext

java.lang.Object
- java.awt.dnd.DropTargetContext

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable

public class DropTargetContext
extends Object
implements Serializable

A DropTargetContext is created whenever the logical cursor associated with a Drag and Drop operation coincides with the visible geometry of a Component associated with a DropTarget. The DropTargetContext provides the mechanism for a potential receiver of a drop operation to both provide the end user with the appropriate drag under feedback, but also to effect the subsequent data transfer if appropriate.

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
`protected class`	`DropTargetContext.TransferableProxy`	`TransferableProxy` is a helper inner class that implements `Transferable` interface and serves as a proxy for another `Transferable` object which represents data transfer for a particular drag-n-drop operation.
