QTreeWidget: lost click after drag and drop

[cresta]

Hi!
I have a problem with Drag and Drop in my application. I have added Drag and Drop to my QTreeWidget subclass (class MyTreeWidget : public QTreeWidget) and it works almost fine. The only problem I experience is - the first click on the MyTreeWidget after drag and drop action is lost. I click (after drag and drop action) on a tree element but nothing happens. The element must become selected, but it doesn't.

If I use QListWidget instead of QTreeWidget then everything is alright.

I have wrote simplest example to demonstrate this issue:

// main.cpp
#include <QtGui>
#include "MyTreeWidget.h"
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    MyTreeWidget w;
    w.show();
    return app.exec();
}

// main.cpp
#include <QtGui>
#include "MyTreeWidget.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    MyTreeWidget w;
    w.show();
    return app.exec();
}

        if (drag->exec(Qt::MoveAction) == Qt::MoveAction)
            delete item;
    }
}

I also looked in what is happening with a debugger and I have found out that QTreeWidget state() member function returns DragSelectingState when I click MyTreeWidget the first time after drag and drop action. Looks like this prevents element from being selected. So I have wrote this simple dirty-fix:

void MyTreeWidget::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *e) {
    if (e->button() == Qt::LeftButton)
        startPos = e->pos();
    if (DragSelectingState == state()) // this two lines
        setState(NoState);             // fix the problem
    QTreeWidget::mousePressEvent(e);
}

void MyTreeWidget::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *e) {
    if (e->button() == Qt::LeftButton)
        startPos = e->pos();
    if (DragSelectingState == state()) // this two lines
        setState(NoState);             // fix the problem
    QTreeWidget::mousePressEvent(e);
}

But I would like to know the reason of this behavior. Is it my bug (incorrectly implemented Drag and Drop) or Qt's one. I can not reproduce this behavior with QListWidget. So it looks like it is Qt's bug.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Your drag and drop implementation is incomplete. The body of your dragEnter, dropMove, and dragDrop methods are empty. I'm not sure what will happen here, but it would be a good bet that at a minimum, not calling the base class implementation of these will leave the drag operation open. When you start a drag event, the dragEnter method normally accepts or ignores the event, which will then "hand-off" to the move and potentially the drop methods, which also accept or ignore the event. Your "fix" appears to be patching this over, but not implementing this correctly. If you are content with the simplicity of your implementation, and don't need to perform a real "drop", I would remove the empty methods and allow the calls to pass through to the base implementations.

Thank you for you answer, johnc!

Your drag and drop implementation is incomplete. The body of your dragEnter, dropMove, and dragDrop methods are empty.

If I understand correctly, these methods are allowed to be empty. Anyway, I tried different variants (not to override them, override and accept the event in these methods, override and ignore the event in these methods) but it didn't helped - the first click after drag and drop action is lost.

Moreover, if you replace QTreeWidget with QListWidget in this minimalist example and build it, then the first click after Drag and Drop action will not be lost. So I think that the reason of this misbehavior is not in the empty dragEnter, dropMove, and dragDrop methods.

They are not supposed to call base class implementation... No?

Yes, I do not need to perform a real drop. I just want to find the reason of the lost click. I tried to remove those empty methods, but it didn't helped(

Have you tried setting a breakpoint in the mouse press event button to see if it is even getting called at the point you are missing the click? If you don't hit the breakpoint, then there is a decent chance it's a Qt bug, but I would still guess the event is somehow getting "swallowed" in relation to the dragEnter, dragMove, or dragDrop methods.

Other than that, I'm not really sure what to tell you. As far as leaving methods empty, it's not a very good coding practice. I'm not sure if you were asking, but leaving the body of the function empty does not call the base class method - you have to do this explicitly. If you don't implement the method, e.g. don't provide a function body, the base class method will get called, which is probably what you want in this case anyway. Normally when implementing a true drag and drop, you can check the dragged item and decide whether or not to accept or ignore the event. In the drag enter method, if you ignore it, you will see the circle with a line through it indicating you can't drop in the widget. if you accept it, then the drag move event will be called, and if you drop, the same thing goes with the accept/ignore. I should also mention, there is a difference between accept and acceptProposedAction, which is what I was actually referring to here (sorry, going from memory), which is available as a method on QDropEvent, QDragMoveEvent, and QDragEnterEvent. That could possibly be related as well...? If you haven't already done so, take a look at the drag and drop page in the QtAssistant. Following the example there I have never had issues with drag and drop.

Good luck...

Are u ok? I lost click too, after drag

void ProjectTreeWidget::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
    if(event->button() == Qt::LeftButton)
    {
        startPos = event->pos();
    }
    QTreeWidget::mousePressEvent(event);
    qDebug()<<"Click";
}

void ProjectTreeWidget::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
    if(event->button() == Qt::LeftButton)
    {
        startPos = event->pos();
    }
    QTreeWidget::mousePressEvent(event);
    qDebug()<<"Click";
}

But debug show "Click" twice! I don't know why

value of data-member state is equal to QAbstractItemView :: DragSelectingState. So control flow goes out of this method with return value equal to 'true'. My dirty-fix simply sets this data-member to NoState:

void MyTreeWidget::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *e) {
    if (e->button() == Qt::LeftButton)
        startPos = e->pos();
    if (DragSelectingState == state()) // this two lines

Hi Wong! Thank you for your answer!
I can't reproduce twice-click... When I click the tree item after dragging, then MyTreeWidget::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *e) method is called once. From this method base class implementation QTreeWidget::mousePressEvent() is called. But it seems that QTreeWidget::mousePressEvent() call doesn't perform all the necessary operations because of a premature return.

Thank you very much! It's ok after setState(NoState).
It beset me long time. Thanks again!

No at all!
But I would like to know is it bug in Qt or in my drag and drop implementation. Any ideas and considerations are welcome!

    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    MyListWidget w;

            delete item;

This Drad and Drop example with QListWidget works fine without any dirty-fixes - no lost clicks!

So I incline to the opinion, that QTreeWidget drag and drop issue with the lost click described above is the Qt's bag, not mine.

In Qt src, QTreeView reimplement mousePressEvent

void QTreeView::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
	Q_D(QTreeView);
    bool handled = false;
    if (style()->styleHint(QStyle::SH_Q3ListViewExpand_SelectMouseType, 0, this) == QEvent::MouseButtonPress)
        handled = d->expandOrCollapseItemAtPos(event->pos());
	if (!handled && d->itemDecorationAt(event->pos()) == -1)
        QAbstractItemView::mousePressEvent(event);
}

void QTreeView::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
	Q_D(QTreeView);
    bool handled = false;
    if (style()->styleHint(QStyle::SH_Q3ListViewExpand_SelectMouseType, 0, this) == QEvent::MouseButtonPress)
        handled = d->expandOrCollapseItemAtPos(event->pos());
	if (!handled && d->itemDecorationAt(event->pos()) == -1)
        QAbstractItemView::mousePressEvent(event);
}

And QListView don't reimplement it. I’m not really sure it has bug. I know very little about d-pointer

If I understand you right, you think that the lost click issue isn't a bug of QTreeWidget? Then what do you think about my "ditry-fix":

if (DragSelectingState == state())
        setState(NoState);

if (DragSelectingState == state())
        setState(NoState);

Haha, I find other interesting matters !

It's a happenchance, I forgot to write mouseMoveEvent when reimplement
But it's ok after drag!

void ProjectTreeWidget::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
    if(event->buttons() & Qt::LeftButton)
    {
        int distance = (event->pos() - startPos).manhattanLength();
        if(distance >= QApplication::startDragDistance())
        {
            performDrag();
        }
    }
//    QTreeWidget::mouseMoveEvent(event); //Don't lost click after drag
}

void ProjectTreeWidget::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
    if(event->buttons() & Qt::LeftButton)
    {
        int distance = (event->pos() - startPos).manhattanLength();
        if(distance >= QApplication::startDragDistance())
        {
            performDrag();
        }
    }
//    QTreeWidget::mouseMoveEvent(event); //Don't lost click after drag
}

If add "QTreeWidget::mouseMoveEvent(event)", lost click
I think you are right, it like a bug of QTreeWidget

Vote for this bug report Mouse click doesn't select item in QTreeWidget after Drag and Drop then!
