The drag and moving problem??

[Ray]

I am planning to build a tool bar like Dr.eye,when using the Qt's example D&D ,I set set the program like this:

MainWidget::MainWidget(QWidget *parent) : QLabel(parent)
{
    setWindowState(this->windowState() ^ Qt::WindowFullScreen);
    setFrameStyle(QFrame::Sunken | QFrame::StyledPanel);
    setAcceptDrops(true);
 
    toolbar = new ToolWidget(this);
    toolbar->move(50, 50);
    toolbar->show();
    toolbar->setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose); 
}
 
void MainWidget::dragEnterEvent(QDragEnterEvent *event)
{
    if (event->mimeData()->hasFormat("MyToolBar")) 
    {       	
        if (event->source() == this) 
        {
            event->setDropAction(Qt::MoveAction);
            event->accept();
        } else 
        {
            event->acceptProposedAction();
        }
    } 
    else 
    {
        event->ignore();
    }
}
 
void MainWidget::dragMoveEvent(QDragMoveEvent *event)
{
    if (event->mimeData()->hasFormat("MyToolBar")) 
    {
        if (children().contains(event->source())) 
        {
            event->setDropAction(Qt::MoveAction);
            event->accept();
        } 
        else 
        {
            event->acceptProposedAction();
        }
        printf("this is the test\n");
    } 
    else 
    {
        event->ignore();
    }
}
 
void MainWidget::dropEvent(QDropEvent *event)
{
    if (event->mimeData()->hasFormat("MyToolBar")) 
    {
        QByteArray itemData = event->mimeData()->data("MyToolBar");
        QDataStream dataStream(&itemData, QIODevice::ReadOnly);
 
        QPixmap pixmap;
        QPoint offset;
        dataStream >> pixmap >> offset;
 
        ToolWidget *Transfer = new ToolWidget(this);
        Transfer->setPixmap(pixmap);
        Transfer->move(event->pos() - offset);
        Transfer->show();
        Transfer->setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose);
 
        if (event->source() == this) 
        {
            event->setDropAction(Qt::MoveAction);
            event->accept();
        } else {
            event->acceptProposedAction();
        }
    } 
    else 
    {
        event->ignore();
    }
}
 
void MainWidget::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
	if(Qt::LeftButton == event->button ())
	{
	    ToolWidget *child = static_cast<ToolWidget*>(childAt(event->pos()));
	    if (!child)
	        return;
 
	    QPixmap pixmap = *child->pixmap();  //get the pixmap on the label

	    child->hide();

	    drag->setMimeData(mimeData);
	    drag->setPixmap(pixmap);
	    drag->setHotSpot(event->pos() - child->pos());
 
	    if (drag->start(Qt::MoveAction) == Qt::MoveAction)
	        child->close();
	    else 
	        child->show();
    }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

this is following the example,but I create a class ToolWidget,
it contains several button's。
the question is,when i drag and move the toolbar, all of the object except toolbar'r 's icon
are invisiable
is it possible make the label visible,and how to do it??

[wysota]

What does ToolWidget::pixmap() return? You set the resulting pixmap as the drag indicator. Maybe the pixmap doesn't contain what you want?

[Ray]

I found it is useful to use the: QPixmap pixmap = QPixmap::grabWidget(toolbar,toolbar->frameRect());
and i got the pixmap to all of the toolbar,include all of the objects in the toolbar.
so, when i move the toolbar it present all of the images in toll bar but not part of the toolbar.

[wysota]

But is the pixmap grabbed correct or not? Can you show a picture of the pixmap and a picture of the toolbar which you want to achieve?

[Ray]

the toolbar that i need is like the Dr.eye's toolbar,i found the page :
http://www.twinbridge.com/Products/D...e/Dr70_chn.htm

there is another question，is it possible to set the toolbar widegt on the Z-plane
because the toolbar is not allowed to be coverd by other objects,thx.

QWidget::raise()

[wysota]

Still, what exactly you managed to achieve up to this point?

[Ray]

QWidget::raise()

is doesn't work!!
my tool bar is not any other widegt's child,and almost all of the object are indepednant,
is there any other way to achieve the goal??

[wysota]

You probably want to use Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint window flag

[jpn]

Sorry, I haven't been following the thread too closely, but are you using drag'n'drop just for moving the toolbar?

[Ray]

You probably want to use Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint window flag

toolbar->setWindowFlags(Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);

but it doesn't work, other widgets still cover the toolbar@@
does the script right??
or any other suggustion??
