My Problem is the item is gone after dragging in a wrong widget.
I've tried to use "enterEvent" or "dragEnterEvent" to get the pointer of the left widget in the video.
But it can't, because it can't trigger the enterEvent or dragEnterEvent of the left widget when I'm dragging an item. Therefore, I can't stop the removing mechanism of the QListWidget.

My current solution is to use "isQListWidget (bool)" as a condition to trigger the removing mechanism, but no way can make isQListWidget works.

My code is:

void listWidgetMaya::startDrag(Qt::DropActions supportedActions)
{
    //Declare a QListWidgetItem and get the currentItem
    QList<QListWidgetItem*> items = this->selectedItems();
    foreach(QListWidgetItem *item, items){
        QMimeData* mimeData = new QMimeData;
        QByteArray ba;
        ba = item->text().toLatin1().data();
        mimeData->setData("application/x-item", ba);
        QDrag* drag = new QDrag(this);
        drag->setMimeData(mimeData);
        drag->setPixmap(QPixmap(":/icons/icon_app-16.png"));
        //Execute the moving
        drag->exec(Qt::MoveAction);

        //Removing Mechanism of QListWidget
        if( isQListWidget == true){
            this->cache_objectNames.removeAt(cache_objectNames.indexOf(item->text()));
            delete takeItem(row(item));
        }
    }


}

Hi

Have a look at

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-itemviews-puzzle-example.html

it checks if the drop was accepted. and then first delete the item.

you code will just do , regardless if it was accepted or not.

so you need like

if (drag->exec(Qt::MoveAction) == Qt::MoveAction)
        delete takeItem(row(item));

@mrjj Thank you. The code works perfectly.
