From the Qt docs: "Interoperating with Other Applications On X11, the public XDND protocol is used, while on Windows Qt uses the OLE standard, and Qt for Mac OS X uses the Carbon Drag Manager. On X11, XDND uses MIME, so no translation is necessary. The Qt API is the same regardless of the platform. On Windows, MIME-aware applications can communicate by using clipboard format names that are MIME types. Already some Windows applications use MIME naming conventions for their clipboard formats. Internally, Qt uses QWindowsMime and QMacPasteboardMime for translating proprietary clipboard formats to and from MIME types." > With "general inter-application drag and drop mechanism" I meant > also (and in the first place) "without regard for the toolkit used". That's what Qt seems to have achieved - if I understand their documentation correctly. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
