public class DelegatingDropAdapter
extends 
Object
implements 
DropTargetListener

A DelegatingDropAdapter is a DropTargetListener that maintains and delegates to a set of TransferDropTargetListeners. Each TransferDropTargetListener can then be implemented as if it were the DropTarget's only DropTargetListener.

On dragEnter, dragOperationChanged, dragOver and drop, a current listener is obtained from the set of all TransferDropTargetListeners. The current listener is the first listener to return true for TransferDropTargetListener.isEnabled(DropTargetEvent). The current listener is forwarded all DropTargetEvents until some other listener becomes the current listener, or the drop terminates.

After adding all TransferDropTargetListeners to the DelegatingDropAdapter the combined set of Transfers should be set in the SWT DropTarget. #getTransfers() provides the set of Transfer types of all TransferDropTargetListeners.

The following example snippet shows a DelegatingDropAdapter with two TransferDropTargetListeners. One supports dropping resources and demonstrates how a listener can be disabled in the isEnabled method. The other listener supports text transfer.

                final TreeViewer viewer = new TreeViewer(shell, SWT.NONE);
                DelegatingDropAdapter dropAdapter = new DelegatingDropAdapter();
                dropAdapter.addDropTargetListener(new TransferDropTargetListener() {
                        public Transfer getTransfer() {
                                return ResourceTransfer.getInstance();
                        }
                        public boolean isEnabled(DropTargetEvent event) {
                                // disable drop listener if there is no viewer selection
                                if (viewer.getSelection().isEmpty())
                                        return false;
                                return true;
                        }
                        public void dragEnter(DropTargetEvent event) {}
                        public void dragLeave(DropTargetEvent event) {}
                        public void dragOperationChanged(DropTargetEvent event) {}
                        public void dragOver(DropTargetEvent event) {}
                        public void drop(DropTargetEvent event) {
                                if (event.data == null)
                                        return;
                                IResource[] resources = (IResource[]) event.data;
                                if (event.detail == DND.DROP_COPY) {
                                        // copy resources
                                } else {
                                        // move resources
                                }
                                        
                        }
                        public void dropAccept(DropTargetEvent event) {}
                });

DropTargetEvent event)

The cursor has entered the drop target boundaries. The current listener is updated, and #dragEnter() is forwarded to the current listener.

Specified by:

dragEnter in interface DropTargetListener

Parameters:

event - the drop target event

See Also:

DropTargetListener.dragEnter(DropTargetEvent)

dragLeave

public void dragLeave(
DropTargetEvent event)

The cursor has left the drop target boundaries. The event is forwarded to the current listener.

Specified by:

dragLeave in interface DropTargetListener

Parameters:

event - the drop target event

See Also:

DropTargetListener.dragLeave(DropTargetEvent)

dragOperationChanged

public void dragOperationChanged(
DropTargetEvent event)

The operation being performed has changed (usually due to the user changing a drag modifier key while dragging). Updates the current listener and forwards this event to that listener.

Specified by:

dragOperationChanged in interface DropTargetListener

drop in interface DropTargetListener

Parameters:

event - the drop target event

See Also:

DropTargetListener.drop(DropTargetEvent)

dropAccept

public void dropAccept(
DropTargetEvent event)

getTransfers

public 
Transfer[] getTransfers()

Returns the combined set of Transfer types of all TransferDropTargetListeners.

Returns:

the combined set of Transfer types

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Returns true if there are no listeners to delegate events to.

Returns:

true if there are no TransferDropTargetListeners false otherwise

removeDropTargetListener

public void removeDropTargetListener(
TransferDropTargetListener listener)

Removes the given TransferDropTargetListener. Listeners should not be removed while a drag and drop operation is in progress.

Parameters:
