Event handling : Accessing another widget's property [SOLVED]
-
OK, this should be easy.
I tried to handle drop event onto a QGraphicsView widget. Incoming data dragged from a QTreeView widget. For that, I re-implemented these methods:
@void QGraphicsScene::dragEnterEvent(QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent *event)
{
event.accept();
}void QGraphicsScene::dragMoveEvent(QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent *event)
{
event.accept();
}void QGraphicsScene::dropEvent(QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent *event)
{
event.accept();
}void QGraphicsView::dropEvent(QDropEvent *event)
{
QPixmap pixmap(event->mimedata()->urls()[0].toString().remove(0,8));
this.scene()->addPixmap(pixmap);
}@This works fine; but how can I change another graphicsview scene within this widget's drop event? That is:
@void QGraphicsView::dropEvent(QDropEvent *event)
{
QPixmap pixmap(event->mimedata()->urls()[0].toString().remove(0,8));
// I cannot access ui; and cannot access other widgets...:
ui->anotherview->scene()->addPixmap(pixmap);
}@

Well, does that not work? Are you getting any errors?

Access to Mainwindow widgets from QGraphicsView class is forbidden.
ui->anotherview doesn't work.
Should I create a subclass of QGraphicsView (that inherits it), then promote my graphicsview widgets to that class and create signals there? Then I can connect to mainwindow slots. That was the only way I could think of.

Wait so you have modified source code of Qt itself right now? I don't get your setup :)
In general, since you are reimplementing events you should subclass. Then there are numerous ways to get to your main window and update the other scene.
You can change mainWindow into a Singleton and then include it in your subclass (perfectly legal, although I find it ugly).
You can use meta object system to get to your parent (which probably is your MainWindow), then find the other view using findChildren<>() and set the property using QObject::setProperty().
Or you can send the signal from your subclass notifying your MainWindow (or anotherView directly) that a change needs to be made.

I actually rewrote drag drop events of qgraphics and qscene :) I get "inconsistent dll" warning but it worked fine. I will subclass them right now. I will try the meta object method as the signalling method (which was the only thing i could think of) requires more effort.

meta method worked fine man; thanks! btw, how do you accept an answer in this forum ? :)

Hey, that's nice to hear! Happy coding!
In general we just add "[Solved]" to the subject (edit your initial post, then add [Solved] to the title). I'll tag it for you.
