Detailed Description

Event controller to receive DND drops.

Gtk::DropTargetAsync is an auxiliary object that can be used to receive Drag-and-Drop operations.
It is the more complete but also more complex method of handling drop operations compared to Gtk::DropTarget and you should only use it if Gtk::DropTarget doesn't provide all the features you need.

To use a Gtk::DropTargetAsync to receive drops on a widget, you create a Gtk::DropTargetAsync object, configure which data formats and actions you support, connect to its signals, and then attach it to the widget with Gtk::Widget::add_controller().

During a drag operation, the first signal that a Gtk::DropTargetAsync emits is signal_accept(), which is meant to determine whether the target is a possible drop site for the ongoing drop. The default handler for the accept signal accepts the drop if it finds a compatible data format and an action that is supported on both sides.

If it is, and the widget becomes a target, you will receive a signal_drag_enter(), followed by signal_drag_motion() as the pointer moves, optionally a signal_drop() when a drop happens, and finally a signal_drag_leave() when the pointer moves off the widget.

The ::drag-enter and ::drag-motion handler return a Gdk::DragAction to update the status of the ongoing operation. The ::drop handler should decide if it ultimately accepts the drop and if it does, it should initiate the data transfer and finish the operation by calling Gdk::Drop::finish().

Between the ::drag-enter and ::drag-leave signals the widget is a current drop target, and will receive the Gtk::StateFlags::DROP_ACTIVE state, which can be used by themes to style the widget as a drop target.

◆ reject_drop()

void Gtk::DropTargetAsync::reject_drop ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Drop > & drop )

Sets the drop as not accepted on this drag site.

This function should be used when delaying the decision on whether to accept a drag or not until after reading the data.

Parameters

drop	The `Gdk::Drop` of an ongoing drag operation.

◆ set_actions()

void Gtk::DropTargetAsync::set_actions ( Gdk::DragAction actions )

Sets the actions that this drop target supports.

Parameters

actions The supported actions.

◆ set_formats()

void Gtk::DropTargetAsync::set_formats ( const Glib::RefPtr< const Gdk::ContentFormats > & formats )

Sets the data formats that this drop target will accept.

Parameters

formats The supported data formats or nullptr for any format.

◆ signal_accept()

Glib::SignalProxy< bool(const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Drop > &)> Gtk::DropTargetAsync::signal_accept ( )

Only one signal handler is called.

If you connect a handler, it must be called before (instead of) the default handler, otherwise it won't be called. Set the after parameter in connect() to false.

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_accept(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Drop>& drop)

Flags: Run Last

Emitted on the drop site when a drop operation is about to begin.

If the drop is not accepted, false will be returned and the drop target will ignore the drop. If true is returned, the drop is accepted for now but may be rejected later via a call to Gtk::DropTargetAsync::reject_drop() or ultimately by returning false from a signal_drop() handler.

The default handler for this signal decides whether to accept the drop based on the formats provided by the drop.

If the decision whether the drop will be accepted or rejected needs further processing, such as inspecting the data, this function should return true and proceed as is drop was accepted and if it decides to reject the drop later, it should call Gtk::DropTargetAsync::reject_drop().

Parameters

drop	The `Gdk::Drop`.

Returns: true if drop is accepted.

◆ signal_drag_enter()

Glib::SignalProxy< Gdk::DragAction(const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Drop > &, double, double)> Gtk::DropTargetAsync::signal_drag_enter ( )

Only one signal handler is called.

If you connect a handler, it must be called before (instead of) the default handler, otherwise it won't be called. Set the after parameter in connect() to false.

Slot Prototype:: Gdk::DragAction on_my_drag_enter(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Drop>& drop, double x, double y)

Flags: Run Last

Emitted on the drop site when the pointer enters the widget.

It can be used to set up custom highlighting.

Parameters

drop	The `Gdk::Drop`.
x	The x coordinate of the current pointer position.
y	The y coordinate of the current pointer position.

Returns: Preferred action for this drag operation.

◆ signal_drag_leave()

Glib::SignalProxy< void(const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Drop > &)> Gtk::DropTargetAsync::signal_drag_leave ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_drag_leave(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Drop>& drop)

Flags: Run Last

Emitted on the drop site when the pointer leaves the widget.

Its main purpose it to undo things done in Gtk::DropTargetAsync::drag-enter.

Parameters

drop	The `Gdk::Drop`.

◆ signal_drag_motion()

Glib::SignalProxy< Gdk::DragAction(const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Drop > &, double, double)> Gtk::DropTargetAsync::signal_drag_motion ( )

Only one signal handler is called.

If you connect a handler, it must be called before (instead of) the default handler, otherwise it won't be called. Set the after parameter in connect() to false.

Slot Prototype:: Gdk::DragAction on_my_drag_motion(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Drop>& drop, double x, double y)

Flags: Run Last

Emitted while the pointer is moving over the drop target.

Parameters

drop	The `Gdk::Drop`.
x	The x coordinate of the current pointer position.
y	The y coordinate of the current pointer position.

Returns: Preferred action for this drag operation.

◆ signal_drop()

Glib::SignalProxy< bool(const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Drop > &, double, double)> Gtk::DropTargetAsync::signal_drop ( )

Only one signal handler is called.

If you connect a handler, it must be called before (instead of) the default handler, otherwise it won't be called. Set the after parameter in connect() to false.

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_drop(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Drop>& drop, double x, double y)

Flags: Run Last

Emitted on the drop site when the user drops the data onto the widget.

The signal handler must determine whether the pointer position is in a drop zone or not. If it is not in a drop zone, it returns false and no further processing is necessary.

Otherwise, the handler returns true. In this case, this handler will accept the drop. The handler must ensure that Gdk::Drop::finish() is called to let the source know that the drop is done. The call to Gdk::Drop::finish() must only be done when all data has been received.

To receive the data, use one of the read functions provided by Gdk::Drop such as Gdk::Drop::read_async() or Gdk::Drop::read_value_async().

Parameters

drop	The `Gdk::Drop`.
x	The x coordinate of the current pointer position.
y	The y coordinate of the current pointer position.

Returns: Whether the drop is accepted at the given pointer position.
