[Solved] cursor problems in QTextEdit

[linoux]

Hi, i redifined the dropEvent in my widget which inherit QTextEdit. I don't want to drop when out of a certain zone so i asked the dropevent to do nothing when out of that zone. It work fine but after that i lost my cursor i can still edit where i want but i can't see it until i do another drag and drop in the proper area.

Thanks the code is down

@
void QConsole::dropEvent ( QDropEvent * event)
{
if(!isInEditionZone(cursorForPosition(event->pos()).position()))
{
//Don't drop if out of the editing zone
return;
}
else if(!isInEditionZone())
{
//Execute un drop à l'ancienne position aussi
QTextCursor cur = textCursor();
cur.setPosition(oldPosition);
setTextCursor(cur);
}
//Execute un drop normal
QTextEdit::dropEvent(event);
}

I don't understand. Can you describe you problem more clearly?

[mohsen]

maybe you need ui->lineEdit->update();

How is this question different from the one you asked "here":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/3177/?

[mohsen]

haha Andre you're so funny! are you monitor?

[linoux]

The problem is when i try to drop something out of the editing zone, my cursor is stuck, it's not flashing anymore except if i do another drag and drop in the editing area

I tried the update() nothing changed. @Andre this question came while trying to solve the other problem but it's not the same. At this point the other question is solved but a new problem shows.

Hm, do you have a small example that demonstrates the false behavior? This way we could look into the issue more thoroughly.

As a first question: what's the difference between isInEditionZone() with and without parameter?

[andre]

Indeed. It is a bit hard to fix if we have no insight into your code. It would be ideal if your code would be in the form of a small, self contained, compilable example as suggested by Volker.

Solved by using the dragMoveEvent to define the dropzones. Thanks everyone.

Just to make the solution obvious to future readers, what you have to do is simply redefine mouseMoveEvent to accept the event, like in the "Drop Site example":http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/platform-api-reference/xml/daily-docs/libqt4/draganddrop-dropsite-droparea-cpp.html:

@
void DropArea::dragMoveEvent(QDragMoveEvent *event)
{
event->acceptProposedAction();
}@
