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 other)
• QByteArray encodedData (self, str)
• str format (self, int n = 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.

See also QMimeData and QDrag.

Method Documentation

QMimeSource.__init__ (self)

QMimeSource.__init__ (self, QMimeSource other)

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 n = 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().
