Is it possible to QCoreApplication.sendEvent a hand made QDropEvent ?

Is it possible to manually create a custom QDropEvent, and then send it to a widget ?

Code:

---

in a dialog.button.clicked slot:     
md = QtCore.QMimeData()
md.setText('ZZz')
e = QtGui.QDropEvent(   QtCore.QPoint( 1, 1 ) , QtCore.Qt.CopyAction ,
                        md,  QtCore.Qt.NoButton, QtCore.Qt.NoModifier ,QtCore.QEvent.Drop )  
 
print QtGui.QApplication.instance().sendEvent( self ,   e )   # prints False

---

The above is not working. It does work for myEvent subclass of QEvent, but not for a QDropEvent. I am curious why.

Did you send drag enter event and drag move event prior to sending the drop event?
