## Class BasicSplitPaneDivider.VerticalDragController

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicSplitPaneDivider.DragController
  - - javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicSplitPaneDivider.VerticalDragController

- Enclosing class:
    BasicSplitPaneDivider

      protected class BasicSplitPaneDivider.VerticalDragController
      extends BasicSplitPaneDivider.DragController

  Handles the events during a dragging session for a VERTICAL_SPLIT oriented split pane. This continually messages `dragDividerTo` and then when done messages `finishDraggingTo`. When an instance is created it should be messaged with `isValid` to insure that dragging can happen (dragging won't be allowed if the two views can not be resized).
