• 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 Detail

  • 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 Detail

  • values

    public static DropMode[] values()

    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

    for (DropMode c : DropMode.values())
     System.out.println(c);
    

    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
