I've overwritten (derived from TextEdit) void dragEnterEvent(QDragEnterEvent *e); void dragMoveEvent(QDragMoveEvent *e); void dropEvent(QDropEvent *e); and in dropEvent(QDropEvent *e) I look for the mimeData like: if (e->mimeData()->hasText()) { qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO << "text: " << e->mimeData()->text(); insertFromMimeData(e->mimeData()); } Strange is that e->mimeData()->hasText() evaluates to true but e->mimeData()->text() is empty (similar for hasUrls() and urls()). > > That is, you initiate a drag in a QLabel, place the image e.g. as "image/png" > or "image/jpeg" (?) into the QMimeData and drop it over the email client? > Would that work? > > Cheers, > Oliver > _______________________________________________ > Interest mailing list > Interest@qt-project.org > http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest > -- Wilhelm w.me...@unix.net _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
