QGraphicsScene and dropEvent

[prof.ebral]

I want my GraphicsScene to receive drop events, but it does not seem to work. I can set an item inside my scene to receive drops, but not the scene itself.

What am I failing to read?

Did you reimplement dragEnterEvent() and/or dragMoveEvent() for the scene?

[prof.ebral]

I did dragEnterEvent, but then all I get is a reaction when I drag into the scene and nothing when I drop into the scene. I have not tried dragMoveEvent. I have tried dropEvent and that is not working for the scene.

[wysota]

dragEnterEvent() itself is not enough as the default dragMoveEvent() will ignore drags for areas not occupied by items.

[prof.ebral]

I tried that after I read your post, Wysota. I apologize, I should have updated my status on the thread.

After I reclass both of those, is there a third step that I am missing?

[wysota]

After I reclass both of those

Would you care to explain what you mean by that?

[prof.ebral]

Sorry. I meant re-implement. In PyQt I just add the function to the class when the event occurs the function is called.

[wysota]

And what did you put in those reimplementations?

[prof.ebral]

just print statements so I could determine if they are working.

[wysota]

That's not enough. You have to make sure those events are accepted.

[prof.ebral]

How do I determine that?
