FloatPolicy

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultFloatPolicy, FloatPolicy.NullFloatPolicy
```
public interface FloatPolicy
```
This interface describes a set of method used to determine how floating events should be handled. Classes implementing this interface should be plugged into to the FloatPolicyManager to affect floating behavior of the framework at runtime.

Provides a default implementation of the FloatPolicy interface.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`isFloatDropAllowed(DockingEvent evt)`	Indicates whether floating should be allowed for the specified `DockingEvent` at the end of a drag operation.
`boolean`	`isFloatingAllowed(Dockable dockable)`	Returns `true` if floating should be allowed for the specified `Dockable`.

- Method Detail
  - isFloatingAllowed
```
boolean isFloatingAllowed(Dockable dockable)
```
    Returns true if floating should be allowed for the specified Dockable. This method will be invoked by the FloatPolicyManager at the beginning of a drag operation to determine whether or not floating support will be enabled for the Dockable as a result of the drag. If this method returns false, floating will not be allowed for the drag operation against the specified Dockable.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dockable - the Dockable to be checked for floating support
    
    Returns:
    
    true if floating should be allowed for the specified Dockable; false otherwise.
  - isFloatDropAllowed
```
boolean isFloatDropAllowed(DockingEvent evt)
```
    Indicates whether floating should be allowed for the specified DockingEvent at the end of a drag operation. The FloatPolicyManager will catch all attempts to float a Dockable at the end of a drag operation and invoke this method on all installed FloatPolicies. If any of them returns false, the docking operation will be canceled.
    
    Parameters:
    
    evt - the DockingEvent to be checked for drop-to-float support
    
    Returns:
    
    true if floating should be allowed for the specified DockingEvent; false otherwise.
