Chapter 16. Drag and Drop |
|
When a drop destination has accepted a dragged item, certain signals will be
emitted, depending on what action has been selected. For instance, the user
might have held down the Shift key to specify a
move rather than a copy. Remember that
the user can only select the actions which you have specified in your calls to
drag_dest_set() and
drag_source_set().
The source widget will emit these signals, in this order:
drag_begin: Provides DragContext.
drag_motion: Provides DragContext and coordinates. You can call the drag_status() method of the DragContext to indicate which target will be accepted.
drag_get: Provides info about the dragged data format, and a GtkSelectionData structure, in which you should put the requested data.
drag_drop: Provides DragContext and coordinates.
drag_end: Provides DragContext.
The destination widget will emit this signal, after the source destination has emitted the drag_get signal:
drag_data_received: Provides info
about the dragged data format, and a
GtkSelectionData structure which contains the
dropped data. You should call the drag_finish()
method of the DragContext to indicate whether the
operation was successful.
During a move, the source widget will also emit this signal:
drag_delete: Gives the source the opportunity to delete the original data if that's appropriate.
