/**
*
* Class <code>DropTarget</code> defines the target object for a drag and drop transfer.
*
* IMPORTANT: This class is <em>not</em> intended to be subclassed.
*
* <p>This class identifies the <code>Control</code> over which the user must position the cursor
* in order to drop the data being transferred. It also specifies what data types can be dropped on
* this control and what operations can be performed. You may have several DropTragets in an
* application but there can only be a one to one mapping between a <code>Control</code> and a <code>DropTarget</code>.
* The DropTarget can receive data from within the same application or from other applications
* (such as text dragged from a text editor like Word).</p>
*
* <code><pre>
* int operations = DND.DROP_MOVE | DND.DROP_COPY | DND.DROP_LINK;
* Transfer[] types = new Transfer[] {TextTransfer.getInstance()};
* DropTarget target = new DropTarget(label, operations);
* target.setTransfer(types);
* </code></pre>
*
* <p>The application is notified of data being dragged over this control and of when a drop occurs by
* implementing the interface <code>DropTargetListener</code> which uses the class
* <code>DropTargetEvent</code>. The application can modify the type of drag being performed
* on this Control at any stage of the drag by modifying the <code>event.detail</code> field or the
* <code>event.currentDataType</code> field. When the data is dropped, it is the responsibility of
* the application to copy this data for its own purposes.
*
* <code><pre>
* target.addDropListener (new DropTargetListener() {
* public void dragEnter(DropTargetEvent event) {};
* public void dragOver(DropTargetEvent event) {};
* public void dragLeave(DropTargetEvent event) {};
* public void dragOperationChanged(DropTargetEvent event) {};
* public void dropAccept(DropTargetEvent event) {}
* public void drop(DropTargetEvent event) {
* // A drop has occurred, copy over the data
* if (event.data == null) { // no data to copy, indicate failure in event.detail
* event.detail = DND.DROP_NONE;
* return;
* }
* label.setText ((String) event.data); // data copied to label text
* }
* });
* </pre></code>
