`void`
DragSourceContext.`removeDragSourceListener(DragSourceListener dsl)`
Removes the specified `DragSourceListener` from this `DragSourceContext`.
`void`
DragGestureEvent.`startDrag(Cursor dragCursor, Transferable transferable, DragSourceListener dsl)`
Starts the drag given the initial `Cursor` to display, the `Transferable` object, and the `DragSourceListener` to use.
`void`
DragGestureEvent.`startDrag(Cursor dragCursor, Image dragImage, Point imageOffset, Transferable transferable, DragSourceListener dsl)`
Start the drag given the initial `Cursor` to display, a drag `Image`, the offset of the `Image`, the `Transferable` object, and the `DragSourceListener` to use.
`void`
DragSource.`startDrag(DragGestureEvent trigger, Cursor dragCursor, Transferable transferable, DragSourceListener dsl)`
Start a drag, given the `DragGestureEvent` that initiated the drag, the initial `Cursor` to use, the `Transferable` subject data of the drag, and the `DragSourceListener`.
`void`
DragSource.`startDrag(DragGestureEvent trigger, Cursor dragCursor, Transferable transferable, DragSourceListener dsl, FlavorMap flavorMap)`
Start a drag, given the `DragGestureEvent` that initiated the drag, the initial `Cursor` to use, the `Transferable` subject data of the drag, the `DragSourceListener`, and the `FlavorMap`.
`void`
DragSource.`startDrag(DragGestureEvent trigger, Cursor dragCursor, Image dragImage, Point dragOffset, Transferable transferable, DragSourceListener dsl)`
Start a drag, given the `DragGestureEvent` that initiated the drag, the initial `Cursor` to use, the `Image` to drag, the offset of the `Image` origin from the hotspot of the `Cursor` at the instant of the trigger, the subject data of the drag, and the `DragSourceListener`.
`void`
DragSource.`startDrag(DragGestureEvent trigger, Cursor dragCursor, Image dragImage, Point imageOffset, Transferable transferable, DragSourceListener dsl, FlavorMap flavorMap)`
Start a drag, given the `DragGestureEvent` that initiated the drag, the initial `Cursor` to use, the `Image` to drag, the offset of the `Image` origin from the hotspot of the `Cursor` at the instant of the trigger, the `Transferable` subject data of the drag, the `DragSourceListener`, and the `FlavorMap`.
Constructors in java.awt.dnd with parameters of type DragSourceListener
Modifier
Constructor
Description
``
`DragSourceContext(DragGestureEvent trigger, Cursor dragCursor, Image dragImage, Point offset, Transferable t, DragSourceListener dsl)`
Called from `DragSource`, this constructor creates a new `DragSourceContext` given the `DragSourceContextPeer` for this Drag, the `DragGestureEvent` that triggered the Drag, the initial `Cursor` to use for the Drag, an (optional) `Image` to display while the Drag is taking place, the offset of the `Image` origin from the hotspot at the instant of the triggering event, the `Transferable` subject data, and the `DragSourceListener` to use during the Drag and Drop operation.
