enum QDropEvent::Action

When a drag and drop action is completed, the target is expected to perform an action on the data provided by the source. This will be one of the following:

The Link and Move actions only makes sense if the data is a reference, for example, text/uri-list file lists (seeQUriDrag).

Member Function Documentation

void QDropEvent::accept(bool accept)

CallsetAccepted(accept) instead.

void QDropEvent::acceptAction(bool accept = true)

Call this to indicate that the action described byaction() is accepted (i.e. ifaccept is true, which is the default), not merely the default copy action. If you call acceptAction(true), there is no need to also call accept(true).

Action QDropEvent::action() const

UsedropAction() instead.

The table below shows the correspondance between the return type of action() and the return type ofdropAction().

[virtual]QByteArray QDropEvent::encodedData(constchar * format) const

Reimplemented fromQMimeSource::encodedData().

Returns a byte array containing the drag's data, informat.

data() normally needs to get the data from the drag source, which is potentially very slow, so it's advisable to call this function only if you're sure that you will need the data in that particularformat.

The resulting data will have a size of 0 if the format was not available.

See alsoformat() andQByteArray::size().

[virtual]constchar * QDropEvent::format(int n = 0) const

Reimplemented fromQMimeSource::format().

Returns a string describing one of the available data types for this drag. Common examples are "text/plain" and "image/gif". Ifn is less than zero or greater than the number of available data types, format() returns 0.

This function is provided mainly for debugging. Most drop targets will useprovides().

See alsodata() andprovides().

[virtual]bool QDropEvent::provides(constchar * mimeType) const

Reimplemented fromQMimeSource::provides().

Returns true if this event provides formatmimeType; otherwise returns false.

See alsodata().

void QDropEvent::setPoint(constQPoint & point)

Sets the drop to happen at the givenpoint. You do not normally need to use this as it will be set internally before your widget receives the drop event.
