Drag 'n Drop QListWidget: no text while dragging if not default drag used

[trallallero]

Thanks but I don't follow you...
I guess I have to reimplement the virtual method startDrag in my CListWidget class, but I get errors.

Well, I've solved in this way:

added the following to the constructor:

QPen   pen(QColor("blue"));
	m_Pixmap = new QPixmap(QSize(180, 20));
	m_Painter = new QPainter(m_Pixmap);
	m_Painter->setPen(pen);

QPen   pen(QColor("blue"));
	m_Pixmap = new QPixmap(QSize(180, 20));
	m_Painter = new QPainter(m_Pixmap);
	m_Painter->setPen(pen);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and the mousePressEvent is now:

void CListWidget::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
	QListWidget::mousePressEvent(event);
 
	if ( currentItem()->text().isEmpty() )
	{
		clearSelection();
		return;
	}
 
	QByteArray itemData;
	QDataStream dataStream(&itemData, QIODevice::WriteOnly);
	dataStream << currentItem()->text();
 
	m_Painter->fillRect(QRect(0, 0, 180, 20), QBrush(QColor("orange"))); // ADDED
	m_Painter->drawText(QRect(10, 0, 170, 20), currentItem()->text() );  // ADDED
 
	QMimeData *mimeData = new QMimeData;
	mimeData->setData("application/x-dnditemdata", itemData);
	mimeData->setText(currentItem()->text());
 
	QDrag *drag = new QDrag(this);
	drag->setPixmap(*m_Pixmap);   // ADDED
	drag->setMimeData(mimeData);
	drag->exec(Qt::CopyAction);
}

void CListWidget::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
	QListWidget::mousePressEvent(event);

	if ( currentItem()->text().isEmpty() )
	{
		clearSelection();
		return;
	}

	QByteArray itemData;
	QDataStream dataStream(&itemData, QIODevice::WriteOnly);
	dataStream << currentItem()->text();

	m_Painter->fillRect(QRect(0, 0, 180, 20), QBrush(QColor("orange"))); // ADDED
	m_Painter->drawText(QRect(10, 0, 170, 20), currentItem()->text() );  // ADDED

	QMimeData *mimeData = new QMimeData;
	mimeData->setData("application/x-dnditemdata", itemData);
	mimeData->setText(currentItem()->text());

	QDrag *drag = new QDrag(this);
	drag->setPixmap(*m_Pixmap);   // ADDED
	drag->setMimeData(mimeData);
	drag->exec(Qt::CopyAction);
}
