Java - Moving file from Explorer to Java GUI - what kind of event is that?

I would like to move files from the Windows Explorer to my Java GUI and act on that event by receiving the path of the file(s) to upload开发者_StackOverflow中文版 it(them) to a server.

What kind of event is that? Where can I find some information about it (example code?) ?

Thanks :)

Sounds like you're talking about drag and drop (DnD) events. And here's a CodeProject article that does Windows <-> Java app DnD.
