Here’s a sample window I came up with a while back. Note that is pretty low-level Java Swing stuff - so you’re on your own merits to figure out how it all works. Also, don’t even try and call into support about this.

For a _brief_ explanation: The `initialize()` function of the power table fires the `addListener()` custom method, which creates an instance of a custom [`DropTargetListener`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/dnd/DropTargetListener.html). That custom `DropTargetListener` has an overridden `drop()` function, which actually handles the incoming data.
