<p>The Drop Site example shows how to distinguish the various MIME formats available in a drag and drop operation.<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, <tt>DropArea</tt> and <tt>DropSiteWindow</tt>, and a <tt>main()</tt> function in this example. A <tt>DropArea</tt> object is instantiated in <tt>DropSiteWindow</tt>; a <tt>DropSiteWindow</tt> object is then invoked in the <tt>main()</tt> function.</p>
<a name="droparea-class-definition"></a>
<h2>DropArea Class Definition</h2>
<p>The <tt>DropArea</tt> class is a subclass of <a href="qlabel.html">QLabel</a> with a public slot, <tt>clear()</tt>, and a <tt>changed()</tt> 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>

<span class="keyword">public</span>:

<p>In addition, <tt>DropArea</tt> 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">
<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 <tt>DropArea</tt> class.</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="keyword">protected</span>:
<span class="type">void</span> dragEnterEvent(<span class="type"><a href="qdragenterevent.html">QDragEnterEvent</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>event);

<h2>DropArea Class Implementation</h2>
<p>In the <tt>DropArea</tt> 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>);
setFrameStyle(<span class="type"><a href="qframe.html">QFrame</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>Sunken <span class="operator">|</span> <span class="type"><a href="qframe.html">QFrame</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>StyledPanel);
setAlignment(<span class="type"><a href="qt.html">Qt</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>AlignCenter);
setAcceptDrops(<span class="keyword">true</span>);
setAutoFillBackground(<span class="keyword">true</span>);
clear();
}</pre>
<p>Also, we enable drop events in <tt>DropArea</tt> by setting the <a href="qwidget.html#acceptDrops-prop">acceptDrops</a> property to <tt>true</tt>. Then, we enable the <a href="qwidget.html#autoFillBackground-prop">autoFillBackground</a> property and invoke the <tt>clear()</tt> 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 <tt>DropArea</tt> object. For the <tt>DropSite</tt> example, when the mouse enters <tt>DropArea</tt>, we set its text to "<drop content>" and highlight its background.</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type">void</span> DropArea<span class="operator">::</span>dragEnterEvent(<span class="type"><a href="qdragenterevent.html">QDragEnterEvent</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>event)

setBackgroundRole(<span class="type"><a href="qpalette.html">QPalette</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>Highlight);
event<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>acceptProposedAction();
<span class="keyword">emit</span> changed(event<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>mimeData());
}</pre>
<p>Then, we invoke <a href="qdropevent.html#acceptProposedAction">acceptProposedAction()</a> on <i>event</i>, setting the drop action to the one proposed. Lastly, we emit the <tt>changed()</tt> 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="qdragmoveevent.html">QDragMoveEvent</a> object, <i>event</i>, with <a href="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="qdragmoveevent.html">QDragMoveEvent</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>event)
{
event<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>acceptProposedAction();
}</pre>
<p>The <tt>DropArea</tt> 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"> <span class="type">void</span> DropArea<span class="operator">::</span>dropEvent(<span class="type"><a href="qdropevent.html">QDropEvent</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>event)

<ul>

In the event that <tt>mimeData</tt> contains URLs, we iterate through the list of URLs to display them on individual lines.</li>
<li>If <tt>mimeData</tt> contains other types of objects, we set <tt>DropArea</tt>'s text, with <a href="qlabel.html#text-prop">setText()</a> to "Cannot display data" to inform the user.</li>
</ul>
<p>We then set <tt>DropArea</tt>'s <a href="qwidget.html#backgroundRole">backgroundRole</a> to <a href="qpalette.html#ColorRole-enum">QPalette::Dark</a> and we accept <tt>event</tt>'s proposed action.</p>

<p>The <a href="qwidget.html#dragLeaveEvent">dragLeaveEvent()</a> event handler is called when a drag is in progress and the mouse leaves the widget.</p>

<p>For <tt>DropArea</tt>'s implementation, we clear invoke <tt>clear()</tt> and then accept the proposed event.</p>
<p>The <tt>clear()</tt> function sets the text in <tt>DropArea</tt> to "<drop content>" and sets the <a href="qwidget.html#backgroundRole">backgroundRole</a> to <a href="qpalette.html#ColorRole-enum">QPalette::Dark</a>. Lastly, it emits the <tt>changed()</tt> signal.</p>

<h2>DropSiteWindow Class Implementation</h2>
<p>In the constructor of <tt>DropSiteWindow</tt>, we instantiate <tt>abstractLabel</tt> and set its <a href="qlabel.html#wordWrap-prop">wordWrap</a> property to <tt>true</tt>.

<p>Two <a href="qpushbutton.html">QPushButton</a> objects, <tt>clearButton</tt> and <tt>quitButton</tt>, are instantiated and added to <tt>buttonBox</tt> - a <a href="qdialogbuttonbox.html">QDialogButtonBox</a> object.

<p>For the layout, we use a <a href="qvboxlayout.html">QVBoxLayout</a>, <tt>mainLayout</tt>, to arrange our widgets vertically. We also set the window title to "Drop Site" and the minimum size to 350x500 pixels.</p>

<p>We move on to the <tt>updateFormatsTable()</tt> function. This function updates the <tt>formatsTable</tt>, displaying the MIME formats of the object dropped onto the <tt>DropArea</tt> object. First, we set <a href="qtablewidget.html">QTableWidget</a>'s <a href="qtablewidget.html#rowCount-prop">rowCount</a> property to 0. Then, we validate to ensure that the <a href="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="qmimedata.html">QMimeData</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>mimeData)

<p>Once we are sure that <tt>mimeData</tt> is valid, we iterate through its supported formats using the <a href="containers.html#the-foreach-keyword">foreach keyword</a>. This keyword has the following format:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> foreach(variable, container)</pre>
<p>In our example, <tt>format</tt> is the <i>variable</i> and the <i>container</i> is a <a href="qstringlist.html">QStringList</a>, obtained from <tt>mimeData->formats()</tt>.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> The <a href="qmimedata.html#formats">formats()</a> function returns a <a href="qstringlist.html">QStringList</a> object, containing all the formats supported by the <tt>mimeData</tt>.</p>

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

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

<p>Once <tt>text</tt> has been customized to contain the appropriate data, we insert both <tt>format</tt> and <tt>text</tt> into <tt>formatsTable</tt> with <a href="qtablewidget.html#setItem">setItem()</a>.
