💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Gtk2::Drag — it's a whole module in the Gtk2 Perl bindings family (yes, the Gtk2::Drag(3) page, you found it, iconic) and it's literally the drag-and-drop girlie of the toolkit ✨

🎀 METHODS 🎀

🦋 dragcontext = Gtk2::Drag->begin ($widget, $targets, $actions, $button, $event)

so this is the method, the main character fr. You call it as a class method on Gtk2::Drag and it hands you back a drag context, and the args go like this 👇

  • $widget — a Gtk2::Widget, aka the thing you're dragging from 🫶
  • $targets — a Gtk2::TargetList, the list of stuff this drag will accept
  • $actions — a Gtk2::Gdk::DragAction, the flag set saying what kinda drag this is
  • $button — an integer, the mouse button number
  • $event — a Gtk2::Gdk::Event, the event that kicked the whole thing off
bestie pls note: the order is $widget, $targets, $actions, $button, $event — don't shuffle them, the vibes will NOT survive 💀

🌈 ENUMS AND FLAGS 🌈

⭐ flags Gtk2::Gdk::DragAction

these are the drag-action flags, and every one of them has a lowercase nickname AND the loud uppercase constant name. both work, pick your fave 💅

  • 'default' / 'GDK_ACTION_DEFAULT' — the default one, as the name so rudely implies
  • 'copy' / 'GDK_ACTION_COPY' — copy vibes, the original stays put 🍓
