### Class

# GtkDropControllerMotion

#### Description [src]

    final class Gtk.DropControllerMotion : Gtk.EventController
    {
      /* No available fields */
    }

`GtkDropControllerMotion` is an event controller tracking the pointer during Drag-and-Drop operations.

It is modeled after `GtkEventControllerMotion` so if you have used that, this should feel really familiar.

This controller is not able to accept drops, use `GtkDropTarget` for that purpose.

#### Constructors

###### gtk_drop_controller_motion_new

Creates a new event controller that will handle pointer motion events during drag and drop.

#### Instance methods

###### gtk_drop_controller_motion_contains_pointer

Returns if a Drag-and-Drop operation is within the widget `self` or one of its children.

###### gtk_drop_controller_motion_get_drop

Returns the `GdkDrop` of a current Drag-and-Drop operation over the widget of `self`.

###### gtk_drop_controller_motion_is_pointer

Returns if a Drag-and-Drop operation is within the widget `self`, not one of its children.
