Drag and drop - text between subwindows

I am starting to look into an idea to "drag and drop" highlighted text between QTextEdit objects.
Is it in general feasible in Qt?

Should be possible. Maybe you have to subclass and create your own d'n'd-QTextEdit.
Have a look at these examples.

@Pl45m4 Thanks - that is very encouraging and immensely helpful.
I think the main challenge will be - I am passing , using drag and drop, a text between instances of QTextEdit and only the source is active. So i simple terms - if I start the drag using mouse I will have to figure out how to activate the destination - since the mouse button has to stay down... perhaps I will need a keyboard too... space bar (?) .
My concern is how to add all these "drag and drop" classes without destroying the initial QTextEdit and MDIArea relations.
I have never done multiple inheritance, perhaps this will be a good application for that.
I already have examples cloned, so I will take a look at the example you posted.
Thanks

I did check the example . It is put together as subproject and won't even compile. This is not a first time example does not work. Why QT is putting out such trash is unbelievable. Spare me the usual comments - you are using wrong Qt version ...

very encouraging and immensely helpful.

How did it turn from very encouraging and immensely helpful to trash so quickly? :)

The example project has a main.cpp and a .pro file. So you can use it as standalone project and test the behavior.
