[Moved] Drop Event on QTextBrowser ? (PyQt)

[aurelien.collard]

Hi Guys,

First, I hope I didn't miss any thread already answering this question.
My problem is fairly simple. I can't get a drop event to work correctly for a QTextBrowser. It work just fine with a QLineEdit.

Please check code below (and replace QTextBrowser by QLineEdit to see what I expect)

#!/usr/bin/env python
@
import os
import sys
import tempfile

from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *

#QLineEdit (to replace below)
class MyWebView(QTextBrowser):
def dragEnterEvent(self, e):
e.accept()
print "Dragged"

def dropEvent(self, e):
    print "Dropped"    # This is never printed when using QTextBrowser
    print e.mimeData().text()

class MyWindow(QWidget):
def init(self, *args):
QWidget.init(self, *args)

    layout = QVBoxLayout(self)
    
    view1 = MyWebView()
    layout.addWidget(view1)
    view1.setAcceptDrops(True)

    view2 = QLineEdit()
    layout.addWidget(view2)
    view2.setAcceptDrops(True)

    QObject.connect(view2, SIGNAL("dragEnterEvent(QDragEnterEvent)"), self.dragReceived)
    QObject.connect(view2, SIGNAL("dropEvent(QDropEvent)"), self.dropReceived)

def dragReceived(self, e):
    e.accept()
    print "Connect Dragged"

def dropReceived(self, e):
    print "Connect Dropped"

def main():
app = QApplication(sys.argv)

w = MyWindow()

w.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

if name == 'main':
main()@

Thanks for your help

Is acceptDrops set to true?

[aurelien.collard]

Yes in line 26 in the init function

It's basically a QTextEdit. Maybe the "QTextEdit drag 'n' drop":http://doc.trolltech.com/latest/qtextedit.html#drag-and-drop documentation helps.

Thanks for your help.

I managed to find my problem. I actually need to accept dragMoveEvent which is the type of Drag action that emit a TextBrowser when you drag and drop a file from your desktop onto your QTextBrowser.

For information (action 2)
http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/html/qt.html#DropAction-enum

Just by adding the following code it work well.
@
def dragMoveEvent(self, inEvent):
"""
Need to accept DragMove to catch drop for TextBrowser
"""
inEvent.accept()
@
Thanks all
