DROP_TARGET_MOVE

public static final int DROP_TARGET_MOVE

Drag and Drop Operation: the drop target moves the data and the drag source removes any references to the data and updates its display. This is not available on all platforms and is only used when a non-SWT application is the drop target. In this case, the SWT drag source is informed in the dragFinished event that the drop target has moved the data. (value is 1 << 3).

DROP_DEFAULT

public static final int DROP_DEFAULT

Drag and Drop Operation: During a dragEnter event or a dragOperationChanged, if no modifier keys are pressed, the operation is set to DROP_DEFAULT. The application can choose what the default operation should be by setting a new value in the operation field. If no value is choosen, the default operation for the platform will be selected (value is 1 << 4).

DND

public DND()

Method Detail

error

public static void error(int code)

Throws an appropriate exception based on the passed in error code.

Parameters:

code - the DND error code

error

public static void error(int code,
                         int hresult)

Throws an appropriate exception based on the passed in error code. The hresult argument should be either 0, or the platform specific error code.

In DND, errors are reported by throwing one of three exceptions:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

thrown whenever one of the API methods is invoked with an illegal argument

org.eclipse.swt.SWTException (extends java.lang.RuntimeException)

thrown whenever a recoverable error happens internally in SWT

org.eclipse.swt.SWTError (extends java.lang.Error)

thrown whenever a non-recoverable error happens internally in SWT

This method provides the logic which maps between error codes and one of the above exceptions.

Parameters:

code - the DND error code.

hresult - the platform specific error code.

SWTError, SWTException, IllegalArgumentException
