\title Draggable Icons Example
|
|
|
|
\brief The Draggable Icons example shows how to drag and drop image data between widgets
|
|
in the same application, and between different applications.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
In many situations where drag and drop is used, the user starts dragging from
|
|
a particular widget and drops the payload onto another widget. In this example,
|
|
we subclass QLabel to create labels that we use as drag sources, and place them
|
|
inside \l{QWidget}s that serve as both containers and drop sites.
|
|
|
|
In addition, when a drag and drop operation occurs, we want to send more than
|
|
just an image. We also want to send information about where the user clicked in
|
|
the image so that the user can place it precisely on the drop target. This level
|
|
of detail means that we must create a custom MIME type for our data.
|
|
|
|
\section1 DragWidget Class Definition
|
|
|
|
The icon widgets that we use to display icons are subclassed from QLabel:
|
|
|
|
\snippet draganddrop/draggableicons/dragwidget.h 0
|
|
|
|
Since the QLabel class provides most of what we require for the icon, we
|
|
only need to reimplement the \l QWidget::mousePressEvent() to provide
|
|
drag and drop facilities.
|
|
|
|
\section1 DragWidget Class Implementation
|
|
|
|
The \c DragWidget constructor sets an attribute on the widget that ensures
|
|
that it will be deleted when it is closed:
|
|
|
|
\snippet draganddrop/draggableicons/dragwidget.cpp 0
|
|
|
|
To enable dragging from the icon, we need to act on a mouse press event.
|
|
We do this by reimplementing \l QWidget::mousePressEvent() and setting up
|
|
a QDrag object.
|
|
|
|
\snippet draganddrop/draggableicons/dragwidget.cpp 1
|
|
|
|
Since we will be sending pixmap data for the icon and information about the
|
|
user's click in the icon widget, we construct a QByteArray and package up the
|
|
details using a QDataStream.
|
|
|
|
For interoperability, drag and drop operations describe the data they contain
|
|
using MIME types. In Qt, we describe this data using a QMimeData object:
|
|
|
|
\snippet draganddrop/draggableicons/dragwidget.cpp 2
|
|
|
|
We choose an unofficial MIME type for this purpose, and supply the QByteArray
|
|
to the MIME data object.
|
|
|
|
The drag and drop operation itself is handled by a QDrag object:
|
|
|
|
\snippet draganddrop/draggableicons/dragwidget.cpp 3
|
|
|
|
Here, we pass the data to the drag object, set a pixmap that will be shown
|
|
alongside the cursor during the operation, and define the position of a hot
|
|
spot that places the position of this pixmap under the cursor.
