# Gtk2::TargetEntry(3pm)

## NAME

Gtk2::TargetEntry

## SYNOPSIS

```
  # as a HASH
  $target_entry = {
      target => 'text/plain', # some string representing the drag type
      flags => [], # Gtk2::TargetFlags
      info => 42,  # some app-defined integer identifier
  };
  # as an ARRAY, for compactness
  $target_entry = [ $target, $flags, $info ];
```

## DESCRIPTION

A Gtk2::TargetEntry data structure represents a single type of data than can be supplied for by a widget for a selection or for supplied or received during drag-and-drop.  It  contains a string representing the drag type, a flags field (used only for drag and drop - see Gtk2::TargetFlags), and an application assigned integer ID.  The integer ID will later be passed as a signal parameter for signals like "selection\_get".  It allows the application to identify the target type without extensive string compares.
