Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`INSERT`	The drop location should be tracked in terms of the position where new data should be inserted.
`INSERT_COLS`	The drop location should be tracked in terms of the column index where new columns should be inserted to accommodate the dropped data.
`INSERT_ROWS`	The drop location should be tracked in terms of the row index where new rows should be inserted to accommodate the dropped data.
`ON`	The drop location should be tracked in terms of the index of existing items.
`ON_OR_INSERT`	This mode is a combination of `ON` and `INSERT`, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or in insert locations as specified by `INSERT`.
`ON_OR_INSERT_COLS`	This mode is a combination of `ON` and `INSERT_COLS`, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or as insert columns as specified by `INSERT_COLS`.
`ON_OR_INSERT_ROWS`	This mode is a combination of `ON` and `INSERT_ROWS`, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or as insert rows as specified by `INSERT_ROWS`.
`USE_SELECTION`	A component's own internal selection mechanism (or caret for text components) should be used to track the drop location.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static DropMode`	`valueOf(String name)`	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
`static DropMode[]`	`values()`	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - USE_SELECTION
```
public static final DropMode USE_SELECTION
```
    A component's own internal selection mechanism (or caret for text components) should be used to track the drop location.
  - ON
```
public static final DropMode ON
```
    The drop location should be tracked in terms of the index of existing items. Useful for dropping on items in tables, lists, and trees.
  - INSERT
```
public static final DropMode INSERT
```
    The drop location should be tracked in terms of the position where new data should be inserted. For components that manage a list of items (list and tree for example), the drop location should indicate the index where new data should be inserted. For text components the location should represent a position between characters. For components that manage tabular data (table for example), the drop location should indicate where to insert new rows, columns, or both, to accommodate the dropped data.
  - INSERT_ROWS
```
public static final DropMode INSERT_ROWS
```
    The drop location should be tracked in terms of the row index where new rows should be inserted to accommodate the dropped data. This is useful for components that manage tabular data.
  - INSERT_COLS
```
public static final DropMode INSERT_COLS
```
    The drop location should be tracked in terms of the column index where new columns should be inserted to accommodate the dropped data. This is useful for components that manage tabular data.
  - ON_OR_INSERT
```
public static final DropMode ON_OR_INSERT
```
    This mode is a combination of ON and INSERT, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or in insert locations as specified by INSERT.
  - ON_OR_INSERT_ROWS
```
public static final DropMode ON_OR_INSERT_ROWS
```
    This mode is a combination of ON and INSERT_ROWS, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or as insert rows as specified by INSERT_ROWS.
  - ON_OR_INSERT_COLS
```
public static final DropMode ON_OR_INSERT_COLS
```
    This mode is a combination of ON and INSERT_COLS, specifying that data can be dropped on existing items, or as insert columns as specified by INSERT_COLS.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static DropMode[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.
    
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static DropMode valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
