The gdk:drop object represents the target side of an ongoing DND operation. Possible drop sites get informed about the status of the ongoing drag operation with events of :enter, :leave, :motion and :start type. The gdk:drop object can be obtained from these gdk:events events using the gdk:dnd-event-drop function.

The actual data transfer is initiated from the target side via an async read, using one of the gdk:drop functions for this purpose: the gdk:drop-read-async or gdk:drop-read-value-async functions.

GTK provides a higher level abstraction based on top of these functions, and so they are not normally needed in GTK applications. See the Drag and Drop section of the GTK documentation for more information.
