# Class Ext.dd.DragZone

Package: | Ext.dd
Defined In: | DragZone.js
Class: | DragZone
Subclasses: | GridDragZone, TreeDragZone
Extends: | DragSource

This class provides a container DD instance that allows dragging of multiple child source nodes.

This class does not move the drag target nodes, but a proxy element which may contain any DOM structure you wish. The DOM element to show in the proxy is provided by either a provided implementation of getDragData, or by registered draggables registered with Ext.dd.Registry

If you wish to provide draggability for an arbitrary number of DOM nodes, each of which represent some application object (For example nodes in a DataView) then use of this class is the most efficient way to "activate" those nodes.

By default, this class requires that draggable child nodes are registered with Ext.dd.Registry. However a simpler way to allow a DragZone to manage any number of draggable elements is to configure the DragZone with an implementation of the getDragData method which interrogates the passed mouse event to see if it has taken place within an element, or class of elements. This is easily done by using the event's getTarget method to identify a node based on a Ext.DomQuery selector. For example, to make the nodes of a DataView draggable, use the following technique. Knowledge of the use of the DataView is required:

    myDataView.on('render', function(v) {
        myDataView.dragZone = new Ext.dd.DragZone(v.getEl(), {

    //      On receipt of a mousedown event, see if it is within a DataView node.
    //      Return a drag data object if so.
            getDragData: function(e) {

    //          Use the DataView's own itemSelector (a mandatory property) to
    //          test if the mousedown is within one of the DataView's nodes.
                var sourceEl = e.getTarget(v.itemSelector, 10);

    //          If the mousedown is within a DataView node, clone the node to produce
    //          a ddel element for use by the drag proxy. Also add application data
    //          to the returned data object.
                if (sourceEl) {
                    d = sourceEl.cloneNode(true);
                    d.id = Ext.id();
                    return {
                        ddel: d,
                        sourceEl: sourceEl,
                        repairXY: Ext.fly(sourceEl).getXY(),
                        sourceStore: v.store,
                        draggedRecord: v.getRecord(sourceEl)
                    }
                }
            },

    //      Provide coordinates for the proxy to slide back to on failed drag.
    //      This is the original XY coordinates of the draggable element captured
    //      in the getDragData method.
            getRepairXY: function() {
                return this.dragData.repairXY;
            }
        });
    });

See the DropZone documentation for details about building a DropZone which cooperates with this DragZone.

By default the frame is positioned exactly where the drag element is, so we use the cursor offset provided by Ext.dd.DD. Another option that works only if you do not have constraints on the obj is to have the drag frame centered around the cursor. Set centerFrame to true for this effect. | DDProxy

You can call this directly to force the offset to be in a particular location (e.g., pass in 0,0 to set it to the center of the object) Parameters: `iDeltaX` : int the distance from the left `iDeltaY` : int the distance from the top Returns: void | DD
| setDragElId( `id {string}` ) : void Allows you to specify that an element other than the linked element will be moved with the cursor during a drag Allows you to specify that an element other than the linked element will be moved with the cursor during a drag Parameters: `{string}` : id the id of the element that will be used to initiate the drag Returns: void | DragDrop
| setDragElPos( `int iPageX`, `int iPageY` ) : void Sets the drag element to the location of the mousedown or click event, maintaining the cursor location relative to th... Sets the drag element to the location of the mousedown or click event, maintaining the cursor location relative to the location on the element that was clicked. Override this if you want to place the element in a location other than where the cursor is. Parameters: `iPageX` : int the X coordinate of the mousedown or drag event `iPageY` : int the Y coordinate of the mousedown or drag event Returns: void | DD
| setHandleElId( `id {string}` ) : void Allows you to specify a child of the linked element that should be used to initiate the drag operation. An example o... Allows you to specify a child of the linked element that should be used to initiate the drag operation. An example of this would be if you have a content div with text and links. Clicking anywhere in the content area would normally start the drag operation. Use this method to specify that an element inside of the content div is the element that starts the drag operation. Parameters: `{string}` : id the id of the element that will be used to initiate the drag. Returns: void | DragDrop
| setInitPosition( `int diffX`, `int diffY` ) : void Stores the initial placement of the linked element. Stores the initial placement of the linked element. Parameters: `diffX` : int the X offset, default 0 `diffY` : int the Y offset, default 0 Returns: void | DragDrop
| setOuterHandleElId( `id the` ) : void Allows you to set an element outside of the linked element as a drag handle Allows you to set an element outside of the linked element as a drag handle Parameters: `the` : id id of the element that will be used to initiate the drag Returns: void | DragDrop
| setPadding( `int iTop`, `int iRight`, `int iBot`, `int iLeft` ) : void Configures the padding for the target zone in px. Effectively expands (or reduces) the virtual object size for targe... Configures the padding for the target zone in px. Effectively expands (or reduces) the virtual object size for targeting calculations. Supports css-style shorthand; if only one parameter is passed, all sides will have that padding, and if only two are passed, the top and bottom will have the first param, the left and right the second. Parameters: `iTop` : int Top pad `iRight` : int Right pad `iBot` : int Bot pad `iLeft` : int Left pad Returns: void | DragDrop

By default, the element can be dragged any place on the screen. Use this method to limit the horizontal travel of the element. Pass in 0,0 for the parameters if you want to lock the drag to the y axis. Parameters: `iLeft` : int the number of pixels the element can move to the left `iRight` : int the number of pixels the element can move to the right `iTickSize` : int optional parameter for specifying that the element should move iTickSize pixels at a time. Returns: void | DragDrop
| setYConstraint( `int iUp`, `int iDown`, `int iTickSize` ) : void By default, the element can be dragged any place on the screen. Set this to limit the vertical travel of the element... By default, the element can be dragged any place on the screen. Set this to limit the vertical travel of the element. Pass in 0,0 for the parameters if you want to lock the drag to the x axis. Parameters: `iUp` : int the number of pixels the element can move up `iDown` : int the number of pixels the element can move down `iTickSize` : int optional parameter for specifying that the element should move iTickSize pixels at a time. Returns: void | DragDrop
| startDrag( `int X`, `int Y` ) : void Abstract method called after a drag/drop object is clicked and the drag or mousedown time thresholds have beeen met. Abstract method called after a drag/drop object is clicked and the drag or mousedown time thresholds have beeen met. Parameters: `X` : int click location `Y` : int click location Returns: void | DragDrop
| toString() : string toString method toString method Parameters: None. Returns: `string` string representation of the dd obj | DragDrop
| unlock() : void Unlock this instace Unlock this instace Parameters: None. Returns: void | DragDrop
| unreg() : void Remove all drag and drop hooks for this element Remove all drag and drop hooks for this element Parameters: None. Returns: void | DragDrop
