Detailed Description

An object to take care of the logic for dragging components around with the mouse.

Very easy to use - in your mouseDown() callback, call startDraggingComponent(), then in your mouseDrag() callback, call dragComponent().

When starting a drag, you can give it a ComponentBoundsConstrainer to use to limit the component's position and keep it on-screen.

e.g.

class MyDraggableComp
{
ComponentDragger myDragger;
void mouseDown (const MouseEvent& e)
{
myDragger.startDraggingComponent (this, e);
}
void mouseDrag (const MouseEvent& e)
{
myDragger.dragComponent (this, e, nullptr);
}
};

void juce::ComponentDragger::dragComponent ( Component componentToDrag,
const MouseEvent e,
ComponentBoundsConstrainer constrainer 
)
