# Class Ext.dd.DDProxy

Package: | Ext.dd
Defined In: | DDCore.js
Class: | DDProxy
Subclasses: | DragSource
Extends: | DD

A DragDrop implementation that inserts an empty, bordered div into the document that follows the cursor during drag operations. At the time of the click, the frame div is resized to the dimensions of the linked html element, and moved to the exact location of the linked element. References to the "frame" element refer to the single proxy element that was created to be dragged in place of all DDProxy elements on the page.

## Public Properties

Property | Defined By
--- | ---
| DDProxy.dragElId : String <static> The default drag frame div id | DDProxy
| available : boolean The availabe property is false until the linked dom element is accessible. | DragDrop
| centerFrame : boolean By default the frame is positioned exactly where the drag element is, so we use the cursor offset provided by Ext.dd.... 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
| config : object Configuration attributes passed into the constructor | DragDrop
| groups : object The group defines a logical collection of DragDrop objects that are related. Instances only get events when interact... The group defines a logical collection of DragDrop objects that are related. Instances only get events when interacting with other DragDrop object in the same group. This lets us define multiple groups using a single DragDrop subclass if we want. | DragDrop
| hasOuterHandles : boolean By default, drags can only be initiated if the mousedown occurs in the region the linked element is. This is done in... By default, drags can only be initiated if the mousedown occurs in the region the linked element is. This is done in part to work around a bug in some browsers that mis-report the mousedown if the previous mouseup happened outside of the window. This property is set to true if outer handles are defined. | DragDrop
| id : String The id of the element associated with this object. This is what we refer to as the "linked element" because the size... The id of the element associated with this object. This is what we refer to as the "linked element" because the size and position of this element is used to determine when the drag and drop objects have interacted. | DragDrop
| invalidHandleClasses : string[] An indexted array of css class names for elements that will be ignored if clicked. | DragDrop
| invalidHandleIds : string: An associative array of ids for elements that will be ignored if clicked | DragDrop
| invalidHandleTypes : string: An associative array of HTML tags that will be ignored if clicked. | DragDrop
| isTarget : boolean By default, all insances can be a drop target. This can be disabled by setting isTarget to false. | DragDrop
| maintainOffset : boolean Maintain offsets when we resetconstraints. Set to true when you want the position of the element relative to its par... Maintain offsets when we resetconstraints. Set to true when you want the position of the element relative to its parent to stay the same when the page changes | DragDrop
| padding : int[] The padding configured for this drag and drop object for calculating the drop zone intersection with this object. | DragDrop
| primaryButtonOnly : boolean By default the drag and drop instance will only respond to the primary button click (left button for a right-handed m... By default the drag and drop instance will only respond to the primary button click (left button for a right-handed mouse). Set to true to allow drag and drop to start with any mouse click that is propogated by the browser | DragDrop
| resizeFrame : boolean By default we resize the drag frame to be the same size as the element we want to drag (this is to get the frame effe... By default we resize the drag frame to be the same size as the element we want to drag (this is to get the frame effect). We can turn it off if we want a different behavior. | DDProxy
| scroll : boolean When set to true, the utility automatically tries to scroll the browser window wehn a drag and drop element is dragge... When set to true, the utility automatically tries to scroll the browser window wehn a drag and drop element is dragged near the viewport boundary. Defaults to true. | DD

Array of pixel locations the element will snap to if we specified a horizontal graduation/interval. This array is generated automatically when you define a tick interval. | DragDrop

Array of pixel locations the element will snap to if we specified a vertical graduation/interval. This array is generated automatically when you define a tick interval. | DragDrop
