QTreeView drag & drop issue

[marcus.fr]

Hi

I use QTreeView+QStandardItemModel to create multi column tree widget, with Qt 4.7 libs.

The [Company] column has items that behave as parent in order to create a group of companies under a particular city.

@
Columns:
Company |Website |Phone

+City X
--Company A|exampleA.com|phone A
--Company B|exampleB.com|phone B
--Company C|exampleC.com|phone C
+City Y
--Company D|exampleD.com|phone D
--Company E|exampleE.com|phone E
--Company F|exampleF.com|phone F

The default drop action is MoveAction. I want to drag row from one group to another, say to move Company F into City X group.

When I drag [Company F] item it can as well be dropped in [Phone B] item in group City X. This action moves the row to another group but it is shifted on the right, [Company F] item starts in the [Phone] column.

To avoid this I set setDragEnabled(false) and setDropEnabled(false) to all items except those in the first column [Company];

Again it is allowed to drop/move [Company] item into [Phone] column of another row.

Any suggestions?

Any opinions whether this is a bug?

No, it's not a bug. Per default you can drag any item and drop it anywhere. My experience taught me to handle the drag and drop stuff manually, and not rely on the built-in methods, if you have constraints on where a drop can occur.

What's the use of QStandardItem::setDropEnabled then? When this is set to false the item still accepts drops.

Sorry, I don't know that. We never used the standard item models in our projects together with DnD.
