## Detailed Description

Event controller to initiate DND operations.

Gtk::DragSource is an auxiliary object that is used to initiate Drag-And-Drop operations. It can be set up with the necessary ingredients for a DND operation ahead of time. This includes the source for the data that is being transferred, in the form of a Gdk::ContentProvider, the desired action, and the icon to use during the drag operation. After setting it up, the drag source must be added to a widget as an event controller, using Gtk::Widget::add_controller().

Setting up the content provider and icon ahead of time only makes sense when the data does not change. More commonly, you will want to set them up just in time. To do so, Gtk::DragSource has signal_prepare() and signal_drag_begin(). The prepare signal is emitted before a drag is started, and can be used to set the content provider and actions that the drag should be started with. The drag-begin signal is emitted after the Gdk::Drag object has been created, and can be used to set up the drag icon.

During the DND operation, Gtk::DragSource emits signals that can be used to obtain updates about the status of the operation, but it is not normally necessary to connect to any signals, except for one case: when the supported actions include Gdk::DragAction::MOVE, you need to listen for signal_drag_end() and delete the data after it has been transferred.

## ◆ set_actions()

void Gtk::DragSource::set_actions | ( | Gdk::DragAction | actions | ) |

Sets the actions on the `Gtk::DragSource`.

During a DND operation, the actions are offered to potential drop targets. If actions include Gdk::DragAction::MOVE, you need to listen to the signal_drag_end() signal and handle delete_data being `true`.

This function can be called before a drag is started, or in a handler for the signal_prepare() signal.

Parameters

  actions | The actions to offer.

## ◆ set_content()

void Gtk::DragSource::set_content | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::ContentProvider > & | content | ) |

Sets a content provider on a `Gtk::DragSource`.

When the data is requested in the cause of a DND operation, it will be obtained from the content provider.

This function can be called before a drag is started, or in a handler for the signal_prepare() signal.

You may consider setting the content provider back to `nullptr` in a signal_drag_end() signal handler.

Parameters

  content | A `Gdk::ContentProvider`.

## ◆ set_icon()

void Gtk::DragSource::set_icon | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const Gdk::Paintable > & | paintable,
|  | int | hot_x,
|  | int | hot_y )

Sets a paintable to use as icon during DND operations.

The hotspot coordinates determine the point on the icon that gets aligned with the hotspot of the cursor.

If paintable is `nullptr`, a default icon is used.

This function can be called before a drag is started, or in a signal_prepare() or signal_drag_begin() signal handler.

Parameters

  paintable | The `Gdk::Paintable` to use as icon.
  hot_x | The hotspot X coordinate on the icon.
  hot_y | The hotspot Y coordinate on the icon.

## ◆ signal_drag_begin()

Glib::SignalProxy< void(const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Drag > &)> Gtk::DragSource::signal_drag_begin | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_drag_begin(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Drag>& drag)`

Flags: Run Last

Emitted on the drag source when a drag is started.

It can be used to e.g. set a custom drag icon with Gtk::DragSource::set_icon().

Parameters

  drag | The `Gdk::Drag` object.

## ◆ signal_drag_cancel()

Glib::SignalProxy< bool(const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Drag > &, Gdk::DragCancelReason)> Gtk::DragSource::signal_drag_cancel | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `bool on_my_drag_cancel(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Drag>& drag, Gdk::DragCancelReason reason)`

Flags: Run Last

Emitted on the drag source when a drag has failed.

The signal handler may handle a failed drag operation based on the type of error. It should return `true` if the failure has been handled and the default "drag operation failed" animation should not be shown.

Parameters

  drag | The `Gdk::Drag` object.
  reason | Information on why the drag failed.

Returns
  `true` if the failed drag operation has been already handled.

## ◆ signal_drag_end()

Glib::SignalProxy< void(const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Drag > &, bool)> Gtk::DragSource::signal_drag_end | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_drag_end(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Drag>& drag, bool delete_data)`

Flags: Run Last

Emitted on the drag source when a drag is finished.

A typical reason to connect to this signal is to undo things done in signal_prepare() or signal_drag_begin() handlers.

Parameters

  drag | The `Gdk::Drag` object.
  delete_data | `true` if the drag was performing Gdk::DragAction::MOVE, and the data should be deleted.

## ◆ signal_prepare()

Glib::SignalProxy< Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::ContentProvider >(double, double)> Gtk::DragSource::signal_prepare | ( |  | ) |

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:
  `Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::ContentProvider> on_my_prepare(double x, double y)`

Flags: Run Last

Emitted when a drag is about to be initiated.

It returns the `Gdk::ContentProvider` to use for the drag that is about to start. The default handler for this signal returns the value of the property_content() property, so if you set up that property ahead of time, you don't need to connect to this signal.

Parameters

  x | The X coordinate of the drag starting point.
  y | The Y coordinate of the drag starting point.

Returns
  A `Gdk::ContentProvider`.
