- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getIndex

          public int getIndex()

      Returns the index where dropped data should be placed in the list. Interpretation of the value depends on the drop mode set on the associated component. If the drop mode is either `DropMode.USE_SELECTION` or `DropMode.ON`, the return value is an index of a row in the list. If the drop mode is `DropMode.INSERT`, the return value refers to the index where the data should be inserted. If the drop mode is `DropMode.ON_OR_INSERT`, the value of `isInsert()` indicates whether the index is an index of a row, or an insert index.

      `-1` indicates that the drop occurred over empty space, and no index could be calculated.

      Returns:
        the drop index

    - #### isInsert

          public boolean isInsert()

      Returns whether or not this location represents an insert location.
      Returns:
        whether or not this is an insert location

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Returns a string representation of this drop location. This method is intended to be used for debugging purposes, and the content and format of the returned string may vary between implementations.
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `TransferHandler.DropLocation`
      Returns:
        a string representation of this drop location
