I am trying to drag an icon from the desktop onto my application, which is nothing more than an empty QGraphicsView window. I receive a QDragEnterEvent, but when I release the mouse button, I do not receive a QDropEvent. What am I doing wrong? Here's my simplified code. Thanks for your help!

Qt Code: 
  1. #include <QtGui/QApplication>
  2. #include <QMainWindow>
  3. #include <QGraphicsView>
  4. #include <QDragEnterEvent>
  5. #include <QDropEvent>
  6. #include <QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent>
  7.  
  8. class MyGraphicsView : public QGraphicsView
  9. {
  10.     //Q_OBJECT  // Do I need Q_OBJECT?
  11.  
  12. public:
  13.     MyGraphicsView(QGraphicsScene *parent=0);
  14.  
  15. protected:
  16.     void dragEnterEvent(QDragEnterEvent *event);
  17.     void dropEvent(QDropEvent *event);
  18.     //void dropEvent(QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent *event);
  19. };
  20.  
  21. MyGraphicsView::MyGraphicsView(QGraphicsScene *parent)
  22.         : QGraphicsView(parent)
  23. {
  24.     setAcceptDrops(true);
  25. }
  26.  
  27. void MyGraphicsView::dragEnterEvent(QDragEnterEvent *event)
  28. {
  29.     //event->setDropAction(Qt::IgnoreAction);
  30.     event->accept();
  31. }
  32.  
  33. //void MyGraphicsView::dropEvent(QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent *event)
  34. //{
  35. //    event->accept();
  36. //    qDebug("here");
  37. //}
  38.  
  39. void MyGraphicsView::dropEvent(QDropEvent *event)
  40. {
  41.     qDebug("here");  // I NEVER GET TO HERE
  42.     event->accept();
  43. }
  44.  
  45. int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  46. {
  47.     QApplication app(argc, argv);
  48.     QMainWindow window;
  49.  
  51.     MyGraphicsView *view = new MyGraphicsView(scene);
  52.     view->setAcceptDrops(true);
  53.  
  54.     window.setCentralWidget(view);
  55.     window.resize(640, 480);
  56.     window.setAcceptDrops(true);
  57.     window.show();
  58.  
  59.     return app.exec();
  60. }
