Java - Moving a file from explorer to Java GUI - what is this event?

Question

I would like to move files from Windows Explorer to my Java GUI and act in this case, getting the file path to upload it (them) to the server.

What is this event? Where can I find information about this (example code?)?

Thank:)

It looks like you're talking about drag and drop events (DnD) . And here's a CodeProject article that makes Windows Dn a DnD Java application.
