Moving a row to another position

[Christian Ehrlicher]

You can move rows in a QStringListModel with moveRows().
But what exactly do you want to achieve? Moving the rows by a button click or per drag'n'drop? The latter is already possible without extra work on your side.

Hi,
thanks. I want to move the rows per drag and drop. No buttons.

Then set dragDropMode of the view to DragDrop and it works.

Thank. "Drag and drop" was the key. I have activated this mode with

ui->listView->dragDropMode()

But it doesn't work. Maybe I have to remove the pressed event of the list view. I will try.

[ppp1]

        ui->listView->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::SingleSelection);
        ui->listView->setDragEnabled(true);
        ui->listView->viewport()->setAcceptDrops(true);
        ui->listView->setDropIndicatorShown(true);
        ui->listView->setDragDropMode(QAbstractItemView::InternalMove);

Now it deletes the item at the destination index. I will try later.

[ppp1]

        ui->listView->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::SingleSelection);
        ui->listView->setDragEnabled(true);
        ui->listView->viewport()->setAcceptDrops(true);
        ui->listView->setDropIndicatorShown(true);
        ui->listView->setDragDropMode(QAbstractItemView::InternalMove);
        ui->listView->setDragDropOverwriteMode(false);

The selected data overwrites the existing item when dropped. The last command does not work. Any hints?

It does work for me with a small testcase in the qt designer with QListWidget. What's not needed is the viewport()->setAcceptDrops() call. What Qt version and Os do you use?

[ppp1]

Windows 10 Pro. QT 5.13.1
Is it possible to upload you testcase? Or you can test my project? When my testcase works on your system, than I know that something is wrong with my system. Here is my project: Link

Simply create a new widget ui in designer, add a QTreeWidget, add some items, set the flags and do a preview.

Found the answer: https://www.walletfox.com/course/qtreorderablelist.php. Variant 2.
Note: The explanation for why we need to override flags() can be found in the documentation of the method bool dragDropOverwriteMode() const. The documentation says that the default behaviour when moving items is items' removal. To prevent the removal of the items it is necessary to reimplement flags() in such way that we do not return Qt::ItemIsDropEnabled.
