///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Name: dragimag.h // Purpose: interface of wxDragImage // Author: wxWidgets team // RCS-ID: $Id$ // Licence: wxWindows licence ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /** @class wxDragImage This class is used when you wish to drag an object on the screen, and a simple cursor is not enough. On Windows, the Win32 API is used to achieve smooth dragging. On other platforms, wxGenericDragImage is used. Applications may also prefer to use wxGenericDragImage on Windows, too. To use this class, when you wish to start dragging an image, create a wxDragImage object and store it somewhere you can access it as the drag progresses. Call BeginDrag() to start, and EndDrag() to stop the drag. To move the image, initially call Show() and then Move(). If you wish to update the screen contents during the drag (for example, highlight an item as in the dragimag sample), first call Hide(), update the screen, call Move(), and then call Show(). You can drag within one window, or you can use full-screen dragging either across the whole screen, or just restricted to one area of the screen to save resources. If you want the user to drag between two windows, then you will need to use full-screen dragging. If you wish to draw the image yourself, use wxGenericDragImage and override DoDrawImage() and GetImageRect(). @library{wxcore} @category{dnd} @see @ref page_samples_dragimag */ class wxDragImage : public wxObject { public: /** Default constructor. */ wxDragImage(); /** Constructs a drag image from a bitmap and optional cursor. @param image Bitmap to be used as the drag image.

Note that the mouse will still be captured in window. @param rect If non-@NULL, specifies the rectangle (in screen coordinates) that bounds the dragging operation. Specifying this can make the operation more efficient by cutting down on the area under consideration, and it can also make a visual difference since the drag is clipped to this area. */ bool BeginDrag(const wxPoint& hotspot, wxWindow* window, bool fullScreen = false, wxRect* rect = NULL); /** Start dragging the image, using the first window to capture the mouse and the second to specify the bounding area.

Call EndDrag() when the drag has finished.

This can be desirable if you wish to avoid flicker by not having to redraw the updated window itself just before dragging, which can cause a flicker just as the drag starts. Instead, paint the drag image's backing bitmap to show the appropriate graphic @e minus the objects to be dragged, and leave the window itself to be updated by the drag image. This can provide eerily smooth, flicker-free drag behaviour. The default implementation copies the window contents to the backing bitmap. A new implementation will normally copy information from another source, such as from its own backing bitmap if it has one, or directly from internal data structures.
