Drag and Drop, dropEvent not being called?

[steg90]

Hi,

Well the example ( C++ GUI Programming with Qt4) doesn't use a model so I guess this is why it handles the events in the view/widget. I have just implemented the dropMimeData method in my model but it doesn't get called, I guess this is because I have the events implemented in my view?!

Kind regards,
Steve

Yes, it doesn't have the required infrastructure which is already present in views.

Correct. You only need to reimplement the three methods mentioned, even if you want to carry custom data.

Thanks,

I have removed the drag/drop events from my view and implemented the three methods you mentioned into my model, but they don't get called? Do you have to set up the model to accept drops or something?
