Derived dropMimeData never called

[davsa]

Hi,

I've followed the drag and drop documentation on how to implement drag and drop in a view. However, I can't get it to work.

I have a QWidget which has a QTreeView inside of it. On the QTreeView I set:


tree_view->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::ExtendedSelect ion);

// Enable drag and drop
tree_view->setDragEnabled(true);
tree_view->setAcceptDrops(true);
tree_view->setDropIndicatorShown(true);
tree_view->setDragDropMode(QAbstractItemView::DragDrop);


The tree view has a proxy model which has a source model that i've derived from QAbstractItemModel. In my derived model class I've implemented:


Qt::ItemFlags flags(const QModelIndex &index) const // Returns Qt::ItemIsDragEnabled | Qt::ItemIsDropEnabled | Qt::ItemIsEnabled | Qt::ItemIsSelectable;
Qt::DropActions supportedDragActions() const; // Returns Qt::CopyAction | Qt::MoveAction;
QStringList mimeTypes() const;
QMimeData *mimeData(const QModelIndexList &indicies) const;
bool dropMimeData(const QMimeData *data, Qt::DropAction action, int row, int column, const QModelIndex &parent);


When I try to drag an item mimeData() gets called and seems to encode the data correctly. However, dropMimeData() is never called after that. When I attempt to drag an item, I never see any indicator either. I can't work out what is missing. Does anyone have any idea of what I'm missing?

Regards,

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the exact same problem. The funny thing is, it was working a month ago. I don't think I changed anything in those two files, but when I tried it just now it didn't work. I did upgrade from Qt 4.5 to Qt 4.8, but I don't think that would break it.

Edit: Actually, my problem isn't identical. It's mimeTypes that is getting called when an object is dragged. mimeData never gets called.
