Detailed Description

The QTextDrag class is a drag and drop object for transferring plain and Unicode text.

Plain text is passed in a QString which may contain multiple lines (i.e. may contain newline characters).

Qt provides no built-in mechanism for delivering only a single-line.

For more information about drag and drop, see the QDragObject class and the drag and drop documentation.

See also Drag And Drop Classes.


Member Function Documentation

QTextDrag::QTextDrag ( const QString & text, QWidget * dragSource = 0, const char * name = 0 )

Constructs a text drag object and sets its data to text. dragSource must be the drag source; name is the object name.

QTextDrag::QTextDrag ( QWidget * dragSource = 0, const char * name = 0 )

Constructs a default text drag object. dragSource must be the drag source; name is the object name.

QTextDrag::~QTextDrag ()

Destroys the text drag object and frees up all allocated resources.

bool QTextDrag::canDecode ( const QMimeSource * e ) [static]

Returns TRUE if the information in e can be decoded into a QString; otherwise returns FALSE.

See also decode().

Example: iconview/simple_dd/main.cpp.

bool QTextDrag::decode ( const QMimeSource * e, QString & str ) [static]

Attempts to decode the dropped information in e into str. Returns TRUE if successful; otherwise returns FALSE.

See also canDecode().

Example: iconview/simple_dd/main.cpp.

bool QTextDrag::decode ( const QMimeSource * e, QString & str, QCString & subtype ) [static]

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

Attempts to decode the dropped information in e into str. Returns TRUE if successful; otherwise returns FALSE. If subtype is null, any text subtype is accepted; otherwise only the specified subtype is accepted.

See also canDecode().

void QTextDrag::setSubtype ( const QCString & st ) [virtual]

Sets the MIME subtype of the text being dragged to st. The default subtype is "plain", so the default MIME type of the text is "text/plain". You might use this to declare that the text is "text/html" by calling setSubtype("html").

void QTextDrag::setText ( const QString & text ) [virtual]

Sets the text to be dragged to text. You will need to call this if you did not pass the text during construction.
