  • Enum Constant Summary

    Enum Constants 
    Enum Constant Description
    INSERT
    The drop location should be tracked in terms of the position where new data should be inserted.
    INSERT_COLS
    The drop location should be tracked in terms of the column index where new columns should be inserted to accommodate the dropped data.
    INSERT_ROWS
    The drop location should be tracked in terms of the row index where new rows should be inserted to accommodate the dropped data.
    ON
    The drop location should be tracked in terms of the index of existing items.
    ON_OR_INSERT
    This mode is a combination of ON and INSERT, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or in insert locations as specified by INSERT.
    ON_OR_INSERT_COLS
    This mode is a combination of ON and INSERT_COLS, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or as insert columns as specified by INSERT_COLS.
    ON_OR_INSERT_ROWS
    This mode is a combination of ON and INSERT_ROWS, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or as insert rows as specified by INSERT_ROWS.
    USE_SELECTION
    A component's own internal selection mechanism (or caret for text components) should be used to track the drop location.

  • Enum Constant Details

    • USE_SELECTION

      public static final DropMode USE_SELECTION
      A component's own internal selection mechanism (or caret for text components) should be used to track the drop location.

    • ON

      public static final DropMode ON
      The drop location should be tracked in terms of the index of existing items. Useful for dropping on items in tables, lists, and trees.

    • INSERT

      public static final DropMode INSERT
      The drop location should be tracked in terms of the position where new data should be inserted. For components that manage a list of items (list and tree for example), the drop location should indicate the index where new data should be inserted. For text components the location should represent a position between characters. For components that manage tabular data (table for example), the drop location should indicate where to insert new rows, columns, or both, to accommodate the dropped data.

    • INSERT_ROWS

      public static final DropMode INSERT_ROWS
      The drop location should be tracked in terms of the row index where new rows should be inserted to accommodate the dropped data. This is useful for components that manage tabular data.

    • INSERT_COLS

      public static final DropMode INSERT_COLS
      The drop location should be tracked in terms of the column index where new columns should be inserted to accommodate the dropped data. This is useful for components that manage tabular data.

    • ON_OR_INSERT

      public static final DropMode ON_OR_INSERT
      This mode is a combination of ON and INSERT, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or in insert locations as specified by INSERT.

    • ON_OR_INSERT_ROWS

      public static final DropMode ON_OR_INSERT_ROWS
      This mode is a combination of ON and INSERT_ROWS, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or as insert rows as specified by INSERT_ROWS.

    • ON_OR_INSERT_COLS

      public static final DropMode ON_OR_INSERT_COLS
      This mode is a combination of ON and INSERT_COLS, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or as insert columns as specified by INSERT_COLS.

  • Method Details

    • values

      public static DropMode[] values()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.
      Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    • valueOf

      public static DropMode valueOf​(String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null
