* Drag-and-Drop operations.
*
* To use a GtkDropTarget to receive drops on a widget, you create
- * a GtkDropTarget object, connect to its signals, and then attach
+ * a GtkDropTarget object, configure which data formats and actions
+ * you support, connect to its signals, and then attach
* it to the widget with gtk_widget_add_controller().
+ *
+ * During a drag operation, the first signal that a GtkDropTarget
+ * emits is #GtkDropTarget::accept, which is meant to determine
+ * whether the target is a possible drop site for the ongoing drag.
+ * The default handler for the ::accept signal accepts the drag
+ * if it finds a compatible data format an an action that is supported
+ * on both sides.
+ *
+ * If it is, and the widget becomes the current target, you will
+ * receive a #GtkDropTarget::drag-enter signal, followed by
+ * #GtkDropTarget::drag-motion signals as the pointer moves, and
+ * finally either a #GtkDropTarget::drag-leave signal when the pointer
+ * move off the widget, or a #GtkDropTarget::drag-drop signal when
+ * a drop happens.
+ *
+ * The ::drag-enter and ::drag-motion handler can call gdk_drop_status()
+ * to update the status of the ongoing operation. The ::drag-drop handler
+ * should initiate the data transfer and finish the operation by calling
+ * gdk_drop_finish().
+ *
+ * Between the ::drag-enter and ::drag-leave signals the widget is the
+ * current drop target, and will receive the %GTK_STATE_FLAG_DROP_ACTIVE
+ * state, which can be used to style the widget as a drop targett.
