How handle the pasted file from clipboard

nannanko

Hello, I am writing a instant message application with QML/Qt.
I have a TextField as send message box. I want when the user pastes a file into the TextField, my application uploads it.
I know maybe I could use onTextChanged, but I'm not satisfied since the user doesn't spend most of their time copying the uploaded file. But I didn't find any signal about pasting. I tried custom shortcut key override "Ctrl+v" but it doesn't work.
Can anyone provide me with some advice? Thank you very much!

Hi,
please, can you explain better your problem... if I understood you can do some like this :

   Rectangle {
        color: "blue"
        width: 100
        height: 100
        DropArea {
               anchors.fill: parent
               onDropped: {
                   console.log("Something was Dropped");
                   console.log(clipboard.getText())
               }
           }
    }
