public interface TransferDropTargetListener
extends DropTargetListener

A TransferDropTargetListener is a DropTragetListener that handles one type of SWT Transfer. The purpose of a TransferDropTargetListener is to:

• Determine enablement for a drop operation. A TransferDropTargetListener will not be used if isEnabled returns false.
• When enabled, optionally show feedback on the DropTarget.
• Perform the actual drop

A DelegatingDropAdapter allows these functions to be implemented separately for unrelated types of drags. DelegatingDropAdapter then combines the function of each TransferDropTargetListener, while allowing them to be implemented as if they were the only DragSourceListener.

3.0
