Howdy, I'm having trouble dropping "text/plain" QMimeData onto a QTreeView. The subtlety is that I am trying to drag onto an empty root. The context is that I want to use drag and drop to help build the tree. If I have an existing item in the tree, then I can drop onto that just fine. The trouble is that I want to drag below the bottom of the tree or onto an empty tree and have that act like dragging onto the hidden root.
I have read through all the examples I could find and looked through the documentation. I have overridden the following methods of QAbstractItem: flags() supportedDropActions(), mimeTypes(), dropMimeData(). In the QTreeView I have set setAcceptDrop(True), setDropIndicatorShown(True), and even overridden: def dragEnterEvent(self, event): if event.mimeData.hasFormat("text/plain"): event.acceptProposedAction() def dragMoveEvent(self, event): if event.mimeData.hasFormat("text/plain"): event.acceptProposedAction() None of this lets me drop onto the background of the tree. Can anyone suggest what I might need to override or set so that I can get dropMimeData in the model to fire when I drop over an invalid item in the QTreeView? thanks, Danny _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
