- \example draganddrop/dropsite
- \title Drop Site Example
-
- The example shows how to distinguish the various MIME formats available
- in a drag and drop operation.
-
- \image dropsite-example.png Screenshot of the Drop Site example
-
- The Drop Site example accepts drops from other applications, and displays
- the MIME formats provided by the drag object.
-
- There are two classes, \c DropArea and \c DropSiteWindow, and a \c main()
- function in this example. A \c DropArea object is instantiated in
- \c DropSiteWindow; a \c DropSiteWindow object is then invoked in the
- \c main() function.
-
- \section1 DropArea Class Definition
-
- The \c DropArea class is a subclass of QLabel with a public slot,
- \c clear(), and a \c changed() signal.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/droparea.h DropArea header part1
-
- In addition, \c DropArea also contains a private instance of QLabel and
- reimplementations of four \l{QWidget} event handlers:
-
- \list 1
- \li \l{QWidget::dragEnterEvent()}{dragEnterEvent()}
- \li \l{QWidget::dragMoveEvent()}{dragMoveEvent()}
- \li \l{QWidget::dragLeaveEvent()}{dragLeaveEvent()}
- \li \l{QWidget::dropEvent()}{dropEvent()}
- \endlist
-
- These event handlers are further explained in the implementation of the
- \c DropArea class.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/droparea.h DropArea header part2
-
- \section1 DropArea Class Implementation
-
- In the \c DropArea constructor, we set the \l{QWidget::setMinimumSize()}
- {minimum size} to 200x200 pixels, the \l{QFrame::setFrameStyle()}
- {frame style} to both QFrame::Sunken and QFrame::StyledPanel, and we align
- its contents to the center.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/droparea.cpp DropArea constructor
-
- Also, we enable drop events in \c DropArea by setting the
- \l{QWidget::acceptDrops()}{acceptDrops} property to \c true. Then,
- we enable the \l{QWidget::autoFillBackground()}{autoFillBackground}
- property and invoke the \c clear() function.
-
- The \l{QWidget::dragEnterEvent()}{dragEnterEvent()} event handler is
- called when a drag is in progress and the mouse enters the \c DropArea
- object. For the \c DropSite example, when the mouse enters \c DropArea,
- we set its text to "<drop content>" and highlight its background.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/droparea.cpp dragEnterEvent() function
-
- Then, we invoke \l{QDropEvent::acceptProposedAction()}
- {acceptProposedAction()} on \a event, setting the drop action to the one
- proposed. Lastly, we emit the \c changed() signal, with the data that was
- dropped and its MIME type information as a parameter.
-
- For \l{QWidget::dragMoveEvent()}{dragMoveEvent()}, we just accept the
- proposed QDragMoveEvent object, \a event, with
- \l{QDropEvent::acceptProposedAction()}{acceptProposedAction()}.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/droparea.cpp dragMoveEvent() function
-
- The \c DropArea class's implementation of \l{QWidget::dropEvent()}
- {dropEvent()} extracts the \a{event}'s mime data and displays it
- accordingly.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/droparea.cpp dropEvent() function part1
-
- The \c mimeData object can contain one of the following objects: an image,
- HTML text, plain text, or a list of URLs.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/droparea.cpp dropEvent() function part2
-
- \list
- \li If \c mimeData contains an image, we display it in \c DropArea with
- \l{QLabel::setPixmap()}{setPixmap()}.
- \li If \c mimeData contains HTML, we display it with
- \l{QLabel::setText()}{setText()} and set \c{DropArea}'s text format
- as Qt::RichText.
- \li If \c mimeData contains plain text, we display it with
- \l{QLabel::setText()}{setText()} and set \c{DropArea}'s text format
- as Qt::PlainText. In the event that \c mimeData contains URLs, we
- iterate through the list of URLs to display them on individual
- lines.
- \li If \c mimeData contains other types of objects, we set
- \c{DropArea}'s text, with \l{QLabel::setText()}{setText()} to
- "Cannot display data" to inform the user.
- \endlist
-
- We then set \c{DropArea}'s \l{QWidget::backgroundRole()}{backgroundRole} to
- QPalette::Dark and we accept \c{event}'s proposed action.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/droparea.cpp dropEvent() function part3
-
- The \l{QWidget::dragLeaveEvent()}{dragLeaveEvent()} event handler is
- called when a drag is in progress and the mouse leaves the widget.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/droparea.cpp dragLeaveEvent() function
-
- For \c{DropArea}'s implementation, we clear invoke \c clear() and then
- accept the proposed event.
-
- The \c clear() function sets the text in \c DropArea to "<drop content>"
- and sets the \l{QWidget::backgroundRole()}{backgroundRole} to
- QPalette::Dark. Lastly, it emits the \c changed() signal.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/droparea.cpp clear() function
-
- \section1 DropSiteWindow Class Definition
-
- The \c DropSiteWindow class contains a constructor and a public slot,
- \c updateFormatsTable().
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/dropsitewindow.h DropSiteWindow header
-
- The class also contains a private instance of \c DropArea, \c dropArea,
- QLabel, \c abstractLabel, QTableWidget, \c formatsTable, QDialogButtonBox,
- \c buttonBox, and two QPushButton objects, \c clearButton and
- \c quitButton.
-
- \section1 DropSiteWindow Class Implementation
-
- In the constructor of \c DropSiteWindow, we instantiate \c abstractLabel
- and set its \l{QLabel::setWordWrap()}{wordWrap} property to \c true. We
- also call the \l{QLabel::adjustSize()}{adjustSize()} function to adjust
- \c{abstractLabel}'s size according to its contents.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/dropsitewindow.cpp constructor part1
-
- Then we instantiate \c dropArea and connect its \c changed() signal to
- \c{DropSiteWindow}'s \c updateFormatsTable() slot.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/dropsitewindow.cpp constructor part2
-
- We now set up the QTableWidget object, \c formatsTable. Its
- horizontal header is set using a QStringList object, \c labels. The number
- of columms are set to two and the table is not editable. Also, the
- \c{formatTable}'s horizontal header is formatted to ensure that its second
- column stretches to occupy additional space available.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/dropsitewindow.cpp constructor part3
-
- Two QPushButton objects, \c clearButton and \c quitButton, are instantiated
- and added to \c buttonBox - a QDialogButtonBox object. We use
- QDialogButtonBox here to ensure that the push buttons are presented in a
- layout that conforms to the platform's style.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/dropsitewindow.cpp constructor part4
-
- The \l{QPushButton::clicked()}{clicked()} signals for \c quitButton and
- \c clearButton are connected to \l{QWidget::close()}{close()} and
- \c clear(), respectively.
-
- For the layout, we use a QVBoxLayout, \c mainLayout, to arrange our widgets
- vertically. We also set the window title to "Drop Site" and the minimum
- size to 350x500 pixels.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/dropsitewindow.cpp constructor part5
-
- We move on to the \c updateFormatsTable() function. This function updates
- the \c formatsTable, displaying the MIME formats of the object dropped onto
- the \c DropArea object. First, we set \l{QTableWidget}'s
- \l{QTableWidget::setRowCount()}{rowCount} property to 0. Then, we validate
- to ensure that the QMimeData object passed in is a valid object.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/dropsitewindow.cpp updateFormatsTable() part1
-
- Once we are sure that \c mimeData is valid, we iterate through its
- supported formats using the \l{The foreach Keyword}{foreach keyword}.
- This keyword has the following format:
-
- \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_examples_dropsite.qdoc 0
-
- In our example, \c format is the \a variable and the \a container is a
- QStringList, obtained from \c mimeData->formats().
-
- \note The \l{QMimeData::formats()}{formats()} function returns a
- QStringList object, containing all the formats supported by the
- \c mimeData.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/dropsitewindow.cpp updateFormatsTable() part2
-
- Within each iteration, we create a QTableWidgetItem, \c formatItem and we
- set its \l{QTableWidgetItem::setFlags()}{flags} to Qt::ItemIsEnabled, and
- its \l{QTableWidgetItem::setTextAlignment()}{text alignment} to Qt::AlignTop
- and Qt::AlignLeft.
-
- A QString object, \c text, is customized to display data according to the
- contents of \c format. We invoke {QString}'s \l{QString::simplified()}
- {simplified()} function on \c text, to obtain a string that has no
- additional space before, after or in between words.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/dropsitewindow.cpp updateFormatsTable() part3
-
- If \c format contains a list of URLs, we iterate through them, using spaces
- to separate them. On the other hand, if \c format contains an image, we
- display the data by converting the text to hexadecimal.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/dropsitewindow.cpp updateFormatsTable() part4
-
- Once \c text has been customized to contain the appropriate data, we insert
- both \c format and \c text into \c formatsTable with
- \l{QTableWidget::setItem()}{setItem()}. Lastly, we invoke
- \l{QTableView::resizeColumnToContents()}{resizeColumnToContents()} on
- \c{formatsTable}'s first column.
-
- \section1 The main() Function
-
- Within the \c main() function, we instantiate \c DropSiteWindow and invoke
- its \l{QWidget::show()}{show()} function.
-
- \snippet draganddrop/dropsite/main.cpp main() function
