## Description

`include` : libfm/fm-gtk.h

The FmDndDest can be used by some widget to provide support for Drop operations onto that widget.

To use FmDndDest the widget should create it - the simplest API for this is `fm_dnd_dest_new_with_handlers()`. When FmDndDest is created some drop data types ("targets") are set for the widget. The widget can extend the list by adding own targets to the list and connecting own handlers to the “drag-leave”, “drag-drop”, and “drag-data-received” signals.

The “drag-motion” signal should be always handled by the widget. The handler should check if drop can be performed. And if FmDndDest can accept the drop then widget should inform FmDndDest object about FmFileInfo object the mouse pointer targets at that moment by calling `fm_dnd_dest_set_dest_file()`. The FmDndDest uses a little different sequence for collecting dragged data - it queries data in time of drag motion and uses when data are dropped therefore widget should always call API `fm_dnd_dest_get_default_action()` from handler of the “drag-motion” signal for any target which FmDndDest supports.

### fm_dnd_dest_new ()

    FmDndDest *
    fm_dnd_dest_new (GtkWidget *w);

Creates new drag destination descriptor and sets a widget as a potential drop destination. Caller should connect handlers for the Gtk+ Drag and Drop signals to the widget: “drag-leave”, “drag-motion”, “drag-drop”, and “drag-data-received”.

Before 1.0.1 this API didn't set drop destination on widget so caller should set it itself. Access to fm_default_dnd_dest_targets outside of this API considered unsecure so that behavior was changed.

See also: `fm_dnd_dest_new_with_handlers()`.

#### Parameters

w | a widget that probably is drop destination |

#### Returns

a new FmDndDest object.

[transfer full]

Since: 0.1.0

### fm_dnd_dest_new_with_handlers ()

    FmDndDest *
    fm_dnd_dest_new_with_handlers (GtkWidget *w);

Creates new drag destination descriptor, sets a widget as a potential drop destination, and connects handlers for the Gtk+ Drag and Drop signals: “drag-leave”, “drag-drop”, and “drag-data-received”. Caller should connect own handler for the “drag-motion” signal to the widget to complete the support.

See also: `fm_dnd_dest_new()`.

#### Parameters

w | a widget that probably is drop destination |

#### Returns

a new FmDndDest object.

[transfer full]

Since: 1.0.1

### fm_dnd_dest_set_dest_file ()

    void
    fm_dnd_dest_set_dest_file (FmDndDest *dd,
                               FmFileInfo *dest_file);

Sets drag destination for `dd` .

#### Parameters

dd | a drag destination descriptor |
dest_file | file info of drag destination |

Since: 0.1.0

### fm_dnd_dest_set_widget ()

    void
    fm_dnd_dest_set_widget (FmDndDest *dd,

Updates link to widget that probably is drop destination and setups widget with drop targets supported by FmDndDest.

Before 1.0.1 this API didn't update drop destination on widget so caller should set and unset it itself. Access to fm_default_dnd_dest_targets outside of this API considered unsecure so that behavior was changed.

See also: `fm_dnd_dest_new()`, `fm_dnd_dest_new_with_handlers()`.

#### Parameters

dd | a drag destination descriptor |
w | a widget that probably is drop destination |

Since: 0.1.0

## Signal Details

### The `“files-dropped”` signal

    gboolean
    user_function (FmDndDest *dd,
                   int        x,
                   int        y,
                   guint      action,
                   guint      info_type,
                   gpointer   files,
                   gpointer   user_data)

The “files-dropped” signal is emitted when `files` are dropped on the destination widget. If handler connected to this signal returns `TRUE` then further emission of the signal will be stopped.

#### Parameters

dd | the object which emitted the signal |
x | horisontal position of drop |
y | vertical position of drop |
action | (GdkDragAction) action requested on drop |
info_type | (FmDndDestTargetType) type of data that are dropped |
files | (FmPathList *) list of files that are dropped |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if action can be performed.
