Hello all, So I am having a bit of trouble with a part of my project, basically I have a QTableView showing data for the users files and a QTreeView showing the file structure.
The app allows you to move files around inside the QTreeView and I need to allow the user to also drag files from the TableView into a location in the TreeView also. During the drag operation on each view I set custom mime data to indicate a tree item is dragged or a table item is dragged so I know which is which. During the drag operation in the tree, the default behaviour gives a nice little box around each item as you hover over them and also a line inbetween. I would like to replicate this behaviour when you drag table items over to the treeview. I have managed to do something similar using a QTreeWidget by using the *"setCurrentItem(item)"* on the item you are hovering over which is kinda close. Note that I cant use setCurrentIndex in QTreeView because I need the indices not to be selected as you are dragging around. Finding out which index you are hovering over in the QTreeView is not a problem, what I cant figure out is how to put the little highlight box around the index as you hover over them. I read a bit on overriding the paint events but I have never dived into these events before so any help would be appreciated. *QTreeWidget example drag move event:* def dragMoveEvent(self, event): item = self.itemAt(event.pos()) if item: self.setCurrentItem(item) else: self.clearSelection() event.accept() *QTreeView example drag move event:* def dragMoveEvent(self, event): mime = event.mimeData() if mime.hasFormat(cfg.mime_dbview_data): item_idx = self.indexAt(event.pos()) if item_idx: self.setCurrentIndex(item_idx) else: self.clearSelection() event.accept() return super(Tree_Browser_View, self).dragMoveEvent(event) event.accept() // Ben -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
