class:: DragSource
summary:: A simple drag-and-drop source.
categories:: GUI>Views
related:: Classes/DragSink, Classes/DragBoth
DESCRIPTION::
link::Classes/DragSource::, link::Classes/DragSink:: and link::Classes/DragBoth:: are a set of view classes intended as simple-to-use drag-and-drop sources and destinations. They are graphically represented as a simple rectangle, and their specialty is that they emphasis::do not require the Cmd/Ctrl key to be held down to initiate dragging::.
Akin to link::Classes/StaticText:: they can store arbitrary content in the link::Classes/StaticText#-object#-object:: variable, and display it using link::Classes/Object#-asString::. You can set the displayed text separately using link::Classes/StaticText#-string#-string::, and keep it independent of the content if you set link::Classes/StaticText#-setBoth#-setBoth:: to code::false::.
strong::DragSource::, specifically, gives the strong::-object:: variable as the data strong::for dragging::, but strong::accepts no drop::.
See: link::Classes/View#Drag and drop:: for a general description of the drag and drop mechanism.
CLASSMETHODS::
PRIVATE:: key
INSTANCEMETHODS::
METHOD:: defaultGetDrag
RETURNS:: The link::Classes/StaticText#-object#-object::.
EXAMPLES::
code::
(
s.waitForBoot({ // only needed if you are using sound
w = Window.new.front;
// store various kinds of objects in the drag source
// a string source
