Detailed Description
Event controller to receive DND drops.
Gtk::DropTarget is an event controller implementing a simple way to receive Drag-and-Drop operations.
The most basic way to use a Gtk::DropTarget to receive drops on a widget is to create it via create() passing in the GType of the data you want to receive and connect to signal_drop() to receive the data.
Gtk::DropTarget supports more options, such as:
- rejecting potential drops via signal_accept() and the reject() method to let other drop targets handle the drop
- tracking an ongoing drag operation before the drop via signal_enter(), signal_motion() and signal_leave()
- configuring how to receive data by setting property_preload() and listening for its availability via property_value()
However, Gtk::DropTarget is ultimately modeled in a synchronous way and only supports data transferred via GType. If you want full control over an ongoing drop, the Gtk::DropTargetAsync object gives you this ability.
While a pointer is dragged over the drop target's widget and the drop has not been rejected, that widget will receive the Gtk::StateFlags::DROP_ACTIVE state, which can be used to style the widget.

Glib::PropertyProxy< Gdk::DragAction > Gtk::DropTarget::property_actions | ( | ) |
The Gdk::DragActions that this drop target supports.
Default value: 0
- Returns
- A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Gdk::DragAction > Gtk::DropTarget::property_actions | ( | ) | const |

Glib::PropertyProxy< bool > Gtk::DropTarget::property_preload | ( | ) |
Whether the drop data should be preloaded when the pointer is only hovering over the widget but has not been released.
Setting this property allows finer grained reaction to an ongoing drop at the cost of loading more data.
The default value for this property is false
to avoid downloading huge amounts of data by accident. For example, if somebody drags a full document of gigabytes of text from a text editor across a widget with a preloading drop target, this data will be downloaded, even if the data is ultimately dropped elsewhere.
For a lot of data formats, the amount of data is very small (like GDK_TYPE_RGBA), so enabling this property does not hurt at all. And for local-only drag'n'drop operations, no data transfer is done, so enabling it there is free.
Default value: false
- Returns
- A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< bool > Gtk::DropTarget::property_preload | ( | ) | const |

The default value for this property is false
to avoid downloading huge amounts of data by accident. For example, if somebody drags a full document of gigabytes of text from a text editor across a widget with a preloading drop target, this data will be downloaded, even if the data is ultimately dropped elsewhere.

Default value: false
- Returns
- A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< GValue* > Gtk::DropTarget::property_value | ( | ) | const |
The value for this drop operation or nullptr
if the data has not been loaded yet or no drop operation is going on.
Data may be available before the GtkDropTarget::drop signal gets emitted - for example when the GtkDropTarget:preload property is set. You can use the GObject::notify signal to be notified of available data.
- Returns
- A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
void Gtk::DropTarget::reject | ( | ) |
Rejects the ongoing drop operation.
If no drop operation is ongoing - when GdkDropTarget:drop returns nullptr
- this function does nothing.
This function should be used when delaying the decision on whether to accept a drag or not until after reading the data.
void Gtk::DropTarget::set_actions | ( | Gdk::DragAction | actions | ) |
Sets the actions that this drop target supports.
- Parameters
-
actions The supported actions.
void Gtk::DropTarget::set_gtypes | ( | const std::vector< GType > & | types | ) |
Sets the supported Types for this drop target.
- Parameters
-
types All supported Types that can be dropped.
void Gtk::DropTarget::set_preload | ( | bool | preload = true | ) |
Sets the GtkDropTarget:preload property.
- Parameters
-
preload true
to preload drop data.
Glib::SignalProxy<bool(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Drop>&)> Gtk::DropTarget::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
The signal_accept() signal is 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::DropTarget::reject() or ultimately by returning false
from GtkDropTarget::drop
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 inspecting the data, this function should return true
, the GtkDropTarget:preload property should be set and the value should be inspected via the GObject::notify:value signal and then call Gtk::DropTarget::reject().
- Parameters
-
drop The Gdk::Drop.
- Returns
true
if drop is accepted.
Glib::SignalProxy<bool(const Glib::ValueBase&, double, double)> Gtk::DropTarget::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::ValueBase& value, double x, double y)
Flags: Run Last
The signal_drop() signal is 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 is responsible for rading the given value and performing the drop operation.
- Parameters
-
value The Value being dropped. x The x coordinate of the current pointer position. y The y coordinate of the current pointer position.
- Returns
- Whether the drop was accepted at the given pointer position.
Glib::SignalProxy<Gdk::DragAction(double, double)> Gtk::DropTarget::signal_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_enter(double x, double y)
Flags: Run Last
The signal_enter() signal is emitted on the drop site when the pointer enters the widget. It can be used to set up custom highlighting.
- Parameters
-
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 or 0 if dropping is not supported at the current x, y location.
Glib::SignalProxy<void()> Gtk::DropTarget::signal_leave | ( | ) |
- Slot Prototype:
void on_my_leave()
Flags: Run Last
The signal_leave() signal is emitted on the drop site when the pointer leaves the widget. Its main purpose it to undo things done in Gtk::DropTarget::signal_enter().
Glib::SignalProxy<Gdk::DragAction(double, double)> Gtk::DropTarget::signal_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_motion(double x, double y)
Flags: Run Last
The signal_motion() signal is emitted while the pointer is moving over the drop target.
- Parameters
-
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 or 0 if dropping is not supported at the current x, y location.
