Class ViewerDragAdapter

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui.dnd.ViewerDragAdapter

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.EventListener, DragSourceListener, org.eclipse.swt.internal.SWTEventListener

public class ViewerDragAdapter
extends java.lang.Object
implements DragSourceListener

This is an implementation of DragSourceListener. It allows the selection in effect at the start of the drag and drop interaction to be recorded, which is especially important for a drag and drop interaction within a single view. This is how one of these adapters is typically hooked up:

   viewer.addDragSupport
     (DND.DROP_COPY | DND.DROP_MOVE | DND.DROP_LINK, 
      new Transfer [] { LocalTransfer.getInstance() },
      ViewerDragAdapter(viewer));
 

Doing so simply allows a drag operation to be initiated from the viewer such that the viewer's selection is transferred to the drop target. See EditingDomainViewerDropAdapter and LocalTransfer for more details.
