Interface DragSourceListener

All Known Implementing Classes:
DragSourceAdapter, DragSourceEffect

public interface DragSourceListener
The DragSourceListener class provides event notification to the application for DragSource events.

When the user drops data on a DropTarget, the application which defines the DragSource must provide the dropped data by implementing dragSetData. In the dragSetData, the application must support all the data types that were specified in the DragSource#setTransfer method.

After the drop has completed successfully or has been aborted, the application which defines the DragSource is required to take the appropriate cleanup action. In the case of a successful move operation, the application must remove the data that was transferred.
