public interface Autoscroll
In such situations it is desirable that the GUI control detect this and institute a scroll operation in order to make obscured region(s) visible to the user. This feature is known as autoscrolling.
If a GUI control is both an active DropTarget
and is also scrollable, it
can receive notifications of autoscrolling gestures by the user from
the DnD system by implementing this interface.
An autoscrolling gesture is initiated by the user by keeping the drag
cursor motionless with a border region of the Component,
referred to as
the "autoscrolling region", for a predefined period of time, this will
result in repeated scroll requests to the Component
until the drag Cursor resumes its motion.

This method returns the
Insets describing
the autoscrolling region or border relative

This value is read once by the DropTarget
upon entry of the drag Cursor
into the associated Component.
void autoscroll(Point cursorLocn)
