    can i get an example of some sort
    Look at the code in post#11.
    Where does it get the String it appends to the currently displayed Strings?
    There are several references to a reject method. Add code to call the reject method if the String that is received is the one to be rejected. Otherwise do the append as the code currently does.

    Which part don't you understand? I'll list them one at a time so that you don't confuse them:
    Where does the target class object get the dragged String from?

    How does the DropTargetTextArea class get the String that was dropped on it?

    This has become much more painful than it needs to be. I suggest you do this:

    Edit: Oops, I forgot to mention the starting point: the code at post #11.

    1. Update the existing code to use Swing components, JTextArea, JLabel, etc. While the code you have may ultimately work (not sure), the recommendation is to use Swing and then to not mix AWT and Swing components.
    2. Add a setPreferredSize() to the DropTargetTextArea in the constructor. I used 200 x 200, but suit yourself.
    3. After the code has been updated, copy the existing class DropTargetTextArea and paste it into the Example class at the same level.
    4. Rename the pasted code DropTargetJLabel, creating a new class. Modify it to extend JLabel and leave implements DropTargetListener.
    5. In the new class, fix the name of the constructor.
    6. Update your main() method to:
        public static void main( String[] args )
        {
            // Create the main container and its contents
            JFrame frame = new JFrame( "Test" );
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
            JPanel panel = new JPanel();
            JTextArea textArea = new DropTargetTextArea();
            JLabel jLabel = new DropTargetJLabel();
     
            JLabel testLabel = new DraggableLabel( "test" );
            JLabel testingLabel = new DraggableLabel( "testing" );
     
            // construct the final GUI
            panel.add( testLabel );
            panel.add( testingLabel );
            frame.add( textArea, BorderLayout.WEST );
            frame.add( jLabel, BorderLayout.EAST );
            frame.add( panel, BorderLayout.SOUTH );
     
            // pack the frame and set it visible
            frame.pack();
            frame.setVisible( true );
        }
    7. Update the imports.

    Let us know if you have any questions.

    In the future, please don't be stymied by "I see red squigglies." They are there to help you move forward, not send you backwards. If you need help with them but don't feel like typing them out, you can hover over them, mouse into the resulting detail, select the text, <CTRL-C> to copy, and then paste the text directly into a post.

    Good luck. Let us know if you have remaining questions.

    Ok, that looks like it.

    Now add code to test what is in the String and to either accept it or reject it. The earlier code had two Strings to Drag: "test" and "testing". Chose one to accept and reject the other. Compile and test the code to see if the logic works.

    so at the moment it drags the text and drops in to the label which has been defined near the beginning of the code.

    Did you change the code to reject one of the Drops? Does it work? The DnD from one label should be accepted and the DnD from the other label rejected.

    the label which has been defined
    You should use the variable name so there is no confusion.

    Look at the code. There are statements to accept and to reject the drop.

    Use an if statement to compare the Dropped String against the one to be accepted.
    if (String matches) {
       accept
    }else{
       reject
    }

    try {
     
        Transferable transferable = evt.getTransferable();
     
        if (transferable.isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor.stringFlavor)) {
     
      evt.acceptDrop(DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY_OR_MOVE);

    I originally said that DnD was complicated and you said: i know how to do drag and drop
    I'd suggest that you study the tutorial on DnD using the link in post#2

    Choose one of the Strings that are dropped on the target to be accepted. The earlier code had two Strings: "test" and "testng". Write an if statement that tests if the dropped String is the one to be accepted and print out a message: "accepted" if the String matches and print out "rejected" if the String does not match.
