<div class="descr"> <a name="details"></a>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/dropsite-example.png" alt="Screenshot of the Drop Site example" /></p><p>The Drop Site example accepts drops from other applications, and displays the MIME formats provided by the drag object.</p>
<p>There are two classes, <code>DropArea</code> and <code>DropSiteWindow</code>, and a <code>main()</code> function in this example. A <code>DropArea</code> object is instantiated in <code>DropSiteWindow</code>; a <code>DropSiteWindow</code> object is then invoked in the <code>main()</code> function.</p>
<a name="droparea-class-definition"></a>
<h2 id="droparea-class-definition">DropArea Class Definition</h2>
<p>The <code>DropArea</code> class is a subclass of <a href="qlabel.html">QLabel</a> with a public slot, <code>clear()</code>, and a <code>changed()</code> signal.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="keyword">class</span> DropArea : <span class="keyword">public</span> <span class="type"><a href="qlabel.html">QLabel</a></span>

</pre>
<p>In addition, <code>DropArea</code> also contains a private instance of <a href="qlabel.html">QLabel</a> and reimplementations of four <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> event handlers:</p>
<ol class="1" type="1"><li><a href="qwidget.html#dragEnterEvent">dragEnterEvent()</a></li>
<li><a href="qwidget.html#dragMoveEvent">dragMoveEvent()</a></li>
<li><a href="qwidget.html#dragLeaveEvent">dragLeaveEvent()</a></li>
<li><a href="qwidget.html#dropEvent">dropEvent()</a></li>
</ol>
<p>These event handlers are further explained in the implementation of the <code>DropArea</code> class.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

<a name="droparea-class-implementation"></a>
<h2 id="droparea-class-implementation">DropArea Class Implementation</h2>
<p>In the <code>DropArea</code> constructor, we set the <a href="qwidget.html#minimumSize-prop">minimum size</a> to 200x200 pixels, the <a href="qframe.html#setFrameStyle">frame style</a> to both <a href="qframe.html#Shadow-enum">QFrame::Sunken</a> and <a href="qframe.html#Shape-enum">QFrame::StyledPanel</a>, and we align its contents to the center.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  DropArea<span class="operator">::</span>DropArea(<span class="type"><a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>parent)
      : <span class="type"><a href="qlabel.html">QLabel</a></span>(parent)
  {
      setMinimumSize(<span class="number">200</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">200</span>);

      setAcceptDrops(<span class="keyword">true</span>);
      setAutoFillBackground(<span class="keyword">true</span>);
      clear();
  }

</pre>
<p>Also, we enable drop events in <code>DropArea</code> by setting the <a href="qwidget.html#acceptDrops-prop">acceptDrops</a> property to <code>true</code>. Then, we enable the <a href="qwidget.html#autoFillBackground-prop">autoFillBackground</a> property and invoke the <code>clear()</code> function.</p>
<p>The <a href="qwidget.html#dragEnterEvent">dragEnterEvent()</a> event handler is called when a drag is in progress and the mouse enters the <code>DropArea</code> object. For the <code>DropSite</code> example, when the mouse enters <code>DropArea</code>, we set its text to &quot;&lt;drop content&gt;&quot; and highlight its background.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="type">void</span> DropArea<span class="operator">::</span>dragEnterEvent(<span class="type"><a href="../qtgui/qdragenterevent.html">QDragEnterEvent</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>event)

      <span class="keyword">emit</span> changed(event<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>mimeData());
  }

</pre>
<p>Then, we invoke <a href="../qtgui/qdropevent.html#acceptProposedAction">acceptProposedAction()</a> on <i>event</i>, setting the drop action to the one proposed. Lastly, we emit the <code>changed()</code> signal, with the data that was dropped and its MIME type information as a parameter.</p>
<p>For <a href="qwidget.html#dragMoveEvent">dragMoveEvent()</a>, we just accept the proposed <a href="../qtgui/qdragmoveevent.html">QDragMoveEvent</a> object, <i>event</i>, with <a href="../qtgui/qdropevent.html#acceptProposedAction">acceptProposedAction()</a>.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="type">void</span> DropArea<span class="operator">::</span>dragMoveEvent(<span class="type"><a href="../qtgui/qdragmoveevent.html">QDragMoveEvent</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>event)
  {

  }

</pre>
<p>The <code>DropArea</code> class's implementation of <a href="qwidget.html#dropEvent">dropEvent()</a> extracts the <i>event</i>'s mime data and displays it accordingly.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

<ul>
<li>If <code>mimeData</code> contains an image, we display it in <code>DropArea</code> with <a href="qlabel.html#pixmap-prop">setPixmap()</a>.</li>
<li>If <code>mimeData</code> contains HTML, we display it with <a href="qlabel.html#text-prop">setText()</a> and set <code>DropArea</code>'s text format as <a href="../qtcore/qt.html#TextFormat-enum">Qt::RichText</a>.</li>
<li>If <code>mimeData</code> contains plain text, we display it with <a href="qlabel.html#text-prop">setText()</a> and set <code>DropArea</code>'s text format as <a href="../qtcore/qt.html#TextFormat-enum">Qt::PlainText</a>. In the event that <code>mimeData</code> contains URLs, we iterate through the list of URLs to display them on individual lines.</li>
<li>If <code>mimeData</code> contains other types of objects, we set <code>DropArea</code>'s text, with <a href="qlabel.html#text-prop">setText()</a> to &quot;Cannot display data&quot; to inform the user.</li>
</ul>
<p>We then set <code>DropArea</code>'s <a href="qwidget.html#backgroundRole">backgroundRole</a> to <a href="../qtgui/qpalette.html#ColorRole-enum">QPalette::Dark</a> and we accept <code>event</code>'s proposed action.</p>

<p>In the constructor of <code>DropSiteWindow</code>, we instantiate <code>abstractLabel</code> and set its <a href="qlabel.html#wordWrap-prop">wordWrap</a> property to <code>true</code>.

<p>Two <a href="qpushbutton.html">QPushButton</a> objects, <code>clearButton</code> and <code>quitButton</code>, are instantiated and added to <code>buttonBox</code> - a <a href="qdialogbuttonbox.html">QDialogButtonBox</a> object. We use <a href="qdialogbuttonbox.html">QDialogButtonBox</a> here to ensure that the push buttons are presented in a layout that conforms to the platform's style.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

</pre>
<p>The <a href="qabstractbutton.html#clicked">clicked()</a> signals for <code>quitButton</code> and <code>clearButton</code> are connected to <a href="qwidget.html#close">close()</a> and <code>clear()</code>, respectively.</p>
<p>For the layout, we use a <a href="qvboxlayout.html">QVBoxLayout</a>, <code>mainLayout</code>, to arrange our widgets vertically. We also set the window title to &quot;Drop Site&quot; and the minimum size to 350x500 pixels.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

      <span class="type"><a href="qvboxlayout.html">QVBoxLayout</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>mainLayout <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">new</span> <span class="type"><a href="qvboxlayout.html">QVBoxLayout</a></span>(<span class="keyword">this</span>);

      setMinimumSize(<span class="number">350</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">500</span>);
  }

</pre>
<p>We move on to the <code>updateFormatsTable()</code> function. This function updates the <code>formatsTable</code>, displaying the MIME formats of the object dropped onto the <code>DropArea</code> object. First, we set <a href="qtablewidget.html">QTableWidget</a>'s <a href="qtablewidget.html#setRowCount">rowCount</a> property to 0. Then, we validate to ensure that the <a href="../qtcore/qmimedata.html">QMimeData</a> object passed in is a valid object.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="type">void</span> DropSiteWindow<span class="operator">::</span>updateFormatsTable(<span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qmimedata.html">QMimeData</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>mimeData)

      <span class="keyword">if</span> (<span class="operator">!</span>mimeData)
          <span class="keyword">return</span>;

</pre>
<p>Once we are sure that <code>mimeData</code> is valid, we iterate through its supported formats using the <a href="../qtcore/containers.html#the-foreach-keyword">foreach keyword</a>. This keyword has the following format:</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  foreach(variable<span class="operator">,</span> container)

</pre>
<p>In our example, <code>format</code> is the <i>variable</i> and the <i>container</i> is a <a href="../qtcore/qstringlist.html">QStringList</a>, obtained from <code>mimeData-&gt;formats()</code>.</p>
<p><b>Note: </b>The <a href="../qtcore/qmimedata.html#formats">formats()</a> function returns a <a href="../qtcore/qstringlist.html">QStringList</a> object, containing all the formats supported by the <code>mimeData</code>.</p><pre class="cpp">

      <span class="keyword">for</span> (<span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qstring.html">QString</a></span> <span class="operator">&amp;</span>format : mimeData<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>formats()) {

</pre>
<p>Within each iteration, we create a <a href="qtablewidgetitem.html">QTableWidgetItem</a>, <code>formatItem</code> and we set its <a href="qtablewidgetitem.html#setFlags">flags</a> to <a href="../qtcore/qt.html#ItemFlag-enum">Qt::ItemIsEnabled</a>, and its <a href="qtablewidgetitem.html#setTextAlignment">text alignment</a> to <a href="../qtcore/qt.html#AlignmentFlag-enum">Qt::AlignTop</a> and <a href="../qtcore/qt.html#AlignmentFlag-enum">Qt::AlignLeft</a>.</p>
<p>A <a href="../qtcore/qstring.html">QString</a> object, <code>text</code>, is customized to display data according to the contents of <code>format</code>. We invoke <a href="../qtcore/qstring.html">QString</a>'s <a href="../qtcore/qstring.html#simplified">simplified()</a> function on <code>text</code>, to obtain a string that has no additional space before, after or in between words.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

          }

</pre>
<p>If <code>format</code> contains a list of URLs, we iterate through them, using spaces to separate them. On the other hand, if <code>format</code> contains an image, we display the data by converting the text to hexadecimal.</p>
<pre class="cpp">

          <span class="type">int</span> row <span class="operator">=</span> formatsTable<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>rowCount();

      formatsTable<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>resizeColumnToContents(<span class="number">0</span>);
  }

</pre>
<p>Once <code>text</code> has been customized to contain the appropriate data, we insert both <code>format</code> and <code>text</code> into <code>formatsTable</code> with <a href="qtablewidget.html#setItem">setItem()</a>. Lastly, we invoke <a href="qtableview.html#resizeColumnToContents">resizeColumnToContents()</a> on <code>formatsTable</code>'s first column.</p>
<a name="the-main-function"></a>
<h2 id="the-main-function">The main() Function</h2>
<p>Within the <code>main()</code> function, we instantiate <code>DropSiteWindow</code> and invoke its <a href="qwidget.html#show">show()</a> function.</p>
<pre class="cpp">
