Member Function Documentation

QDropEvent::QDropEvent ( const QPoint & pos )

Creates a QDropEvent for which the mouse is at point pos.

Note that internal state is also involved with QDropEvent, so it is not useful to create these yourself.

void QDropEvent::accept ()

Call this to indicate that the event provided data which your widget processed. Use data(), or preferrably, the decode() methods of existing QDragObject subclasses, such as QTextDrag::decode(), or your own subclasses.

QByteArray QDropEvent::data ( const char * format )

Returns a byte array containing the payload data of this drag, in format.

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 format.

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

See also: QDragMoveEvent::data() and QDragMoveEvent::format().

void QDropEvent::ignore ()

The opposite of accept().
