Class PropertiesTransfer


  • public class PropertiesTransfer
    extends org.eclipse.swt.dnd.ByteArrayTransfer
    The transfer class for properties in clip board or for drag-drop. The PropertiesTransfer class is used to transfer an array of GProp from one part to another in a drag and drop operation or a cut, copy, paste action.

    This class can be used for a Viewer or an SWT component directly. A singleton is provided which may be serially reused (see getInstance). It is not intended to be sub classed.
