Specifies an event handler signalled for a drag/drop event on a notebook tab.

<descr>
<p>
TNotebookTabDragDropEvent is the type used for the OnTabDragDropEx property
in TExtendedNotebook. It is used to perform actions needed when a tab on a
TExtendedNotebook control is moved to a new location using drag and drop.
</p>
<p>
An application must implement and assign an object method which uses this
signature to respond to the event notification. It is signalled from the
DragDrop method in TExtendedNotebook, and occurs after its OnTabDragOverEx
event.

<element name="TExtendedNotebook">
<short>
Implements a notebook or page control which supports drag and drop events for
its tabs.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
TExtendedNotebook is a TPageControl descendant, and extends the ancestor
class with properties, methods, and events which enable drag and drop
operations for the tabs on the paged notebook control. It works in
conjunction with the DragManager (TDragManager) instance for the LCL
interface.
</p>
<p>
Overridden methods are provided initiates and completes a drag and drop
operation, as well as handle mouse up, down and move messages for the
control. Event handlers signalled during drag and drop are also provided.
Additional properties are introduced to indicate how drop / drop operations
are handled by the control and to identify the tab affected by the operation.
</p>
<p>
TExtendedNotebook is used in the implementation of TSourceWindow in the
Lazarus IDE, where it provides access to the source editor for a tab, as well
as its form and anchor design surfaces.

<short>Handles mouse down messages for the control.</short>
<descr>
<p>
MouseDown is an overridden method in TExtendedNotebook. It initializes
members used to track drag and drop operations in the class instance, and
sets the DragCursor for the control. It calls the inherited MouseDown method
to handle an OnEditingDone event for the ActiveControl on the parent form. It
updates DragManager for the mouse button in the notification, and signals the
OnMouseDown event handler (when assigned). When DragMode is set to
dmAutomatic, a left mouse button event causes the value in MouseCapture to be
set to <b>True</b>.
</p>
<p>
MouseDown is called from methods which process LM_LBUTTONDOWN,
LM_RBUTTONDOWN, LM_MBUTTONDOWN, and LM_XBUTTONDOWN window messages for the
control.

<descr>
<p>
<var>DragDrop</var> is an overridden method in <var>TExtendedNotebook</var>
used to perform actions needed when the object in <var>Source</var> is
dropped on the control.
</p>
<p>
If Source is not derived from TExtendedNotebook, or not the tab being dragged
in the control, the inherited method is called to signal the OnDragDrop event
handler (when assigned). No additional actions are performed in the method
when this situation occurs.
</p>
<p>
The OnTabDragDrop event handler is signalled (when assigned) for the
TExtendedNotebook instance in Source. The OnTabDragDropEx event handler is
signalled (when assigned) to allow Ctrl + Drag mouse messages to be handled
for the control.
</p>
<p>
If the tab order was changed by the drag operation, the tabs (pages) are
re-ordered to reflect the new position.
