### Signal

# Gtk DropTarget::accept

#### Declaration

    gboolean
    accept (
      GtkDropTarget* self,
      GdkDrop* drop,
      gpointer user_data
    )

#### Description [src]

Emitted on the drop site when a drop operation is about to begin.

If the drop is not accepted, `FALSE` will be returned and the drop target will ignore the drop. If `TRUE` is returned, the drop is accepted for now but may be rejected later via a call to `gtk_drop_target_reject()` or ultimately by returning `FALSE` from a `GtkDropTarget::drop` handler.

The default handler for this signal decides whether to accept the drop based on the formats provided by the `drop`.

If the decision whether the drop will be accepted or rejected depends on the data, this function should return `TRUE`, the `GtkDropTarget:preload` property should be set and the value should be inspected via the ::notify:value signal, calling `gtk_drop_target_reject()` if required.

Default handler: The default handler is called after the handlers added via `g_signal_connect()`.

#### Parameters

`drop`

  Type: `GdkDrop`

  The `GdkDrop`.

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

#### Return value

Type: `gboolean`

`TRUE` if `drop` is accepted.
