# Class DropTargetContext

java.lang.Object
java.awt.dnd.DropTargetContext

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`

public class DropTargetContext extends Object implements Serializable
A `DropTargetContext` is created whenever the logical cursor associated with a Drag and Drop operation coincides with the visible geometry of a `Component` associated with a `DropTarget`. The `DropTargetContext` provides the mechanism for a potential receiver of a drop operation to both provide the end user with the appropriate drag under feedback, but also to effect the subsequent data transfer if appropriate.

Since:
  1.2

Class
Description
`protected class`
`DropTargetContext.TransferableProxy`
`TransferableProxy` is a helper inner class that implements `Transferable` interface and serves as a proxy for another `Transferable` object which represents data transfer for a particular drag-n-drop operation.

`createTransferableProxy(Transferable t, boolean local)`
Creates a TransferableProxy to proxy for the specified Transferable.
`void`
`dropComplete(boolean success)`
This method signals that the drop is completed and if it was successful or not.
`Component`
`getComponent()`
This method returns the `Component` associated with this `DropTargetContext`.

This method returns a the currently available DataFlavors of the `Transferable` operand as a `java.util.List`.
`DropTarget`
`getDropTarget()`
This method returns the `DropTarget` associated with this `DropTargetContext`.
`protected int`
`getTargetActions()`
This method returns an `int` representing the current actions this `DropTarget` will accept.
`protected Transferable`
`getTransferable()`
get the Transferable (proxy) operand of this operation
`protected boolean`
`isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor df)`
This method returns a `boolean` indicating if the given `DataFlavor` is supported by this `DropTargetContext`.
`protected void`
`rejectDrag()`
reject the Drag.
`protected void`
`rejectDrop()`
called to signal that the drop is unacceptable.
`protected void`
