RE: Drag & Drop in ListBox

hi Sunil,

Thanks for your sample code...

My problem is, I have designed aa Ui and using this in my class which has a list box and some other stuffs..

There, the below functions are not called when I do drag... I have overloaded the below functions...

Quoted

void contentsDragEnterEvent(QDragEnterEvent *event);
void contentsDropEvent(QDropEvent *event);


I didn't inherit QListbox directly to my class, if do I will get many errors..

How this can be solved..?

You should inherits from the QListBox since the void contentsDragEnterEvent(QDragEnterEvent *event), and the void contentsDropEvent(QDropEvent *event) are virtual functions of QScrollView and QListBox inherits it. you will receive these event in the QListBox subclass

Like what ... ?

RE: Drag & Drop in ListBox

Finally I planned to overwrite the my class files generated from UI..

ie; I am creating a new class which has QListBox as its base and using this class in my UI instead of QListBox..

To perform drag&drop whether Should I insert elements as ListBoxItems? If I do insert elemets as string will it work?

There isn't any need to subclass QListBoxItems for drag drop support. You can define a custom widget in the Designer and use it in place of the ListBox

ProjectView::ProjectView(QWidget *parent, const char *name)
    : QListBox(parent, name)
{
	setAcceptDrops(true);	
}

void ProjectView::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *a_event)
{
	QListBox::mousePressEvent( a_event );
    dragging = TRUE;
}

void ProjectView::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *a_event)
{
	if ( dragging ) 
	{
		int distance = (a_event->pos() - dragPos).manhattanLength();
        if (distance > QApplication::startDragDistance())
		{
			QDragObject *d = new QTextDrag( currentText(), this );
			d->drag(); // do NOT delete d.
			dragging = FALSE;
		}
	}     
}

void ProjectView::dragEnterEvent(QDragEnterEvent *a_event)
{
	if ( QTextDrag::canDecode( a_event ) )
	{
		 a_event->accept();
	}
}

void ProjectView::dropEvent(QDropEvent *a_event)
{
    QString text;

    if ( QTextDrag::decode( a_event, text ) )
        insertItem( text );
  
}



While I do drag it simply copies the dragged element at last..

What the issue in this code..?

I tried ur ProjectView class with out doing any changes, but that also doesn't works for me...

Mani

RE: Drag & Drop in ListBox

What exactly are you trying to achieve here. The code I gave just demonstrates how the drag and drop works.

RE: Drag & Drop in ListBox

I want to implement drag&drop in QListBox... ie moving items(chaning positions of Items) in the list box using drag and drop...

I used same example which is available in the Qt-Assistant, but as I told you already, it simply copies items at the last index of list box..
