## Detailed Description

The QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent class provides events for drag and drop in the graphics view framework.

QGraphicsView inherits the drag and drop functionality provided by QWidget. When it receives a drag and drop event, it translates it to a QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent.

QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent stores events of type GraphicsSceneDragEnter, GraphicsSceneDragLeave, GraphicsSceneDragMove, or GraphicsSceneDrop.

QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent contains the position of the mouse cursor in both item, scene, and screen coordinates; this can be retrieved with pos(), scenePos(), and screenPos().

The scene sends the event to the first QGraphicsItem under the mouse cursor that accepts drops; a graphics item is set to accept drops with setAcceptDrops().

## Member Function Documentation

### QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent::~QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent ()

Destroys the object.

### void QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent::acceptProposedAction ()

Sets the proposed action as accepted, i.e, the drop action is set to the proposed action. This is equal to:

     setDropAction(proposedAction());

When using this function, one should not call `accept()`.

See also dropAction(), setDropAction(), and proposedAction().

### Qt::MouseButtons QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent::buttons () const

Returns a Qt::MouseButtons value indicating which buttons were pressed on the mouse when this mouse event was generated.

See also Qt::MouseButtons.

### Qt::DropAction QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent::dropAction () const

Returns the action that was performed in this drag and drop. This should be set by the receiver of the drop and is returned by QDrag::exec().

See also setDropAction() and acceptProposedAction().

### const QMimeData * QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent::mimeData () const

This function returns the MIME data of the event.

### Qt::KeyboardModifiers QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent::modifiers () const

Returns the keyboard modifiers that were pressed when the drag and drop event was created.

See also Qt::KeyboardModifiers.

### QPointF QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent::pos () const

Returns the mouse position of the event relative to the view that sent the event.

See also QGraphicsView, screenPos(), and scenePos().

### Qt::DropActions QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent::possibleActions () const

Returns the possible drop actions that the drag and drop can result in.

See also Qt::DropActions.

### Qt::DropAction QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent::proposedAction () const

Returns the drop action that is proposed, i.e., preferred. The action must be one of the possible actions as defined by `possibleActions()`.

See also Qt::DropAction and possibleActions().

### QPointF QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent::scenePos () const

Returns the position of the mouse in scene coordinates.

See also pos() and screenPos().

### QPoint QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent::screenPos () const

Returns the position of the mouse relative to the screen.

See also pos() and scenePos().

### void QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent::setDropAction ( Qt::DropAction action )

This function lets the receiver of the drop set the drop action that was performed to action, which should be one of the possible actions. Call `accept()` in stead of `acceptProposedAction()` if you use this function.

See also dropAction(), accept(), and possibleActions().

### QWidget * QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent::source () const

This function returns the QGraphicsView that created the QGraphicsSceneDragDropEvent.
