QMimeSource Class Reference
^{[QtGui module]}

The QMimeSource class is an abstraction of objects that provided formatted data of a certain MIME type. More...

Inherited by QDropEvent.

Methods

• __init__ (self)
• __init__ (self, QMimeSource)
• QByteArray encodedData (self, str)
• str format (self, int i = 0)
• bool provides (self, str)

The preferred approach to drag and drop is to use QDrag in conjunction with QMimeData. See Drag and Drop for details.

Method Documentation

QMimeSource.__init__ (self)

QMimeSource.__init__ (self, QMimeSource)

QByteArray QMimeSource.encodedData (self, str)

This method is abstract and should be reimplemented in any sub-class.

Returns the encoded data of this object in the specified MIME format.

str QMimeSource.format (self, int i = 0)

This method is abstract and should be reimplemented in any sub-class.

Returns the (i - 1)-th supported MIME format, or 0.

bool QMimeSource.provides (self, str)

Returns true if the object can provide the data in format mimeType; otherwise returns false.

If you inherit from QMimeSource, for consistency reasons it is better to implement the more abstract canDecode() functions such as QTextDrag.canDecode() and QImageDrag.canDecode().
