mxCellTracker

Event handler that highlights cells. Inherits from mxCellMarker.

Example

new mxCellTracker(graph, '#00FF00');

For detecting dragEnter, dragOver and dragLeave on cells, the following code can be used:

graph.addMouseListener(
{
  cell: null,
  mouseDown: function(sender, me) { },
  mouseMove: function(sender, me)
  {
    var tmp = me.getCell();

    if (tmp != this.cell)
    {
      if (this.cell != null)
      {
        this.dragLeave(me.getEvent(), this.cell);
      }

      this.cell = tmp;

      if (this.cell != null)
      {
        this.dragEnter(me.getEvent(), this.cell);
      }
    }

    if (this.cell != null)
    {
      this.dragOver(me.getEvent(), this.cell);
    }
  },
  mouseUp: function(sender, me) { },
  dragEnter: function(evt, cell)
  {
    mxLog.debug('dragEnter', cell.value);
  },
  dragOver: function(evt, cell)
  {
    mxLog.debug('dragOver', cell.value);
  },
  dragLeave: function(evt, cell)
  {
    mxLog.debug('dragLeave', cell.value);
  }
});
