[Moved] Drag/Drop from ListWidget to GraphicsView

drumboy354

Hello! I'm having troubles getting the drag/drop functionality to work between a listwidget and a qgraphicsview. I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to get the qgrahicsview to show the icon when I drop it into the window. I first actually designed the layout with QT Designer. So gui_from_designer is just the python file that was translated from the ".ui" file. My code is fairly simple:

@from PyQt4.QtGui import *
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from gui_from_designer import Ui_MainWindow@

@class mainWindow(QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):

def __init__(self, parent = None):
    super(mainWindow, self).__init__(parent)
    self.setupUi(self)

 self.nodeWindow.setAcceptDrops(True)

#populate listwidget with icons
path = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])
    for image in sorted(os.listdir(os.path.join(path, "images"))):
        if image.endswith(".png"):
            item = QListWidgetItem(image.split(".")[0].capitalize())
            item.setIcon(QIcon(os.path.join(path,
                               "images/{}".format(image))))
            self.listWidget.addItem(item)

def dragEnterEvent(self, event):
    event.accept()

def dropEvent(self, event):
    event.accept()

def dragMoveEvent(self, event):
    event.accept()

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
form = mainWindow()
form.show()
app.exec_()@

My qgraphicsview window is called nodeWindow. I figured maybe instead of:

@def dragEnterEvent(self, event):
event.accept()@

I would change all the event.accept to self.nodeWindow.event.accept():

@def dragEnterEvent(self, event):
self.nodeWindow.event.accept()@

But with no luck. I'm still fairly new to PyQt and the way drag/drop works with QGraphicsView so any input would be greatly, greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

edit: Fixed formatting for the code!
