[SOLVED] Drag and Drop Event - Works in Ubuntu but not in Windows XP / Windows 7

roahanramesh

Hello
I developed the drag and drop functionality successfully in ubuntu. However, when i port it to Windows XP / Windows 7 it does not work. Any pointers will be helpful.

Try adding qDebug() outputs in main drag functions (mouseMoveEvent, dragEnterEvent...), just to see which ones are detected and where it stops.

Also check if base class constructors are called with yours and take a look at "this":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/3156 thread if it'll help ( it worked for me).

Regards,
Jake

the issue was that windows xp does not have the drag and drop functionality built in. So one needs to install a patch before getting it to work..
