Woah sweet! will do that thanks!

I've wrote 1 treeView/model system last year that had it all re-implemented from scratch, a few days ago I decided to rewrite it to increase performance and relay more on native functions of QT. Which I did and works great but the margin thing is a sticking point. I remember how much work it was before to get it to work properly... took a while as I had to write quite a few functions before I got to the point of margin detection. I'm very surprised there is no

margin = (qt code ) + userMarginOverrideVal

in the canDrop() function... this would have allowed us to just say, hey add +5 pixels to detection or something like that...

Perhaps I should add it to feature request, would posting it in a bug report tracker be a good place? I don't see feature requests and I have no idea how to get the source to compile (Just didn't spend enough time on it) and add it myself & post to qt as commit...

As far as I can tell we need like 2 functions, setOverrideMargin(int val) and getOverrideMargin(), skipping setting flag true/false if we want to use it as defaultVal should just be 0...

TIA

@raven-worx said in QTreeView/Model drop action - no expand sign ?:

Also did you emit the dataChanged() signal on the parent index?

I've just read the post. I forgot to correct it. This is what I edit:

bool testModel::dropMimeData(const QMimeData *data, Qt::DropAction action, int row, int column, const QModelIndex &parent) { ... Q_EMIT dataChanged(itemFirst.index(),itemLast.index()) }

Hmmmm so I tried this, the parent is the object that is in function above.

Q_EMIT dataChanged(parent, parent)

Now this now "magically" works, I get extra ">" when I drop item on another item...
I also learned that I also need to call Q_EMIT layoutChanged({parent}/flag) to update view if I drop items on expanded parent...

Ok all good then, thanks! Weird issue o.o

Well actually its not super weird. If you active
accessibility settings in windows, (on some pads)
you can get this for drag & drop to help
people where is hard to hold down mouse. :)
