QTreeWidget Drag and Drop InternalMove problems
-
I am using a QTreeWidget with Drag and Drop operations and dragDropMode set to InternalMove.
For the most part, this works as expected, with one exception:- I want to allow dropping only for certain items, depending on the dragged item. I have overridden dragMoveEvent to only accept events where my constraints hold. This works, except for one constraint: I do not want it to be possible for an item to be dragged to root level. I do not know how to achieve this.
For my other constraints, I use itemAt(event.pos()) to get the target item. However, when I drag to a position just above a root level item (in the GUI, the root item is no longer marked - instead there is a horizontal line above it), this also gives me the root item, so I can't use it to decide whether I will be dragging to root level or into a root item.
This is supposed to be allowed and works fine:

You don't need to override dragMoveEvent to do this. When creating the items, use setFlags() to set Qt::ItemIsDragEnabled for items which can be dragged and Qt::ItemIsDropEnabled for items which can be targets of a drag.
To prevent the widget from accepting drags to the root level, access the root item with invisibleRootItem() and clear the "drop enabled" flag on it.
