How to drag and drop OS Files with Icons and textes?

TomNow99

Hello,

I would like to drag and drop Windows files for example txt files / image files.

I can drag os file and drop it into QListWidget. But if I do that I get only path to this file. I would like to drag os file and drop it and get icon with name ( not full path - only name ). Of course I can't drop it into QListWidget. So I create own QWidget with QLabels. When I move draged files I get their names, so I can do:

    QFileIconProvider icon;
    QFileInfo fileinfo(R"(pathToFile)");
    QIcon ic=icon.icon(fileinfo);
    label->setPixmap(ic.pixmap(100,100).scaled(100,100));

Using this code I get only icons with no names.

Is there a simple way to do this what I want?

Picture:

( now I have green circle, I would like to have blue circle ( Of course the black background is because I do printscreen from Desktop :) ) )

While you wait for a better answer:

I believe that a QLabel will only show one of either an icon or text, not both. See question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10533838/displaying-a-standard-icon-and-text-in-qlabel and answer there, or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47856872/how-to-add-both-an-image-and-text-to-a-qlabel, for possibilities. You can find these and others via Google qlabel icon plus text.

Alternatively, and this is just a hunch you'd have to check out, does a QPushButton allow both an image and text?

@JonB QPushButton does allow both.

@TomNow99 you can reimplement the handling of dropped data to fill the model with want you want.
