💅 QTextDrag — like, the whole manual, bestie

okay so this is the manual page for QTextDrag, and yeah it lives in section 3qt of the Qt man pages. Buckle up, it's a short one but it's iconic. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

QTextDrag</purl> — the drag-and-drop object for transferring plain text and Unicode text. it's giving clipboard-but-glowier. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Inherits QDragObject. yes she's a nepo baby, but a talented one. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The QTextDrag class is a drag and drop object for transferring plain and Unicode text. that's the whole job. she does it beautifully. 💖

Plain text gets passed in a QString, and bestie, that QString can absolutely contain multiple lines — like, newline characters in there, no problem. the drag target receives those newlines the way the runtime environment wants them, e.g. LF on Unix, and CRLF on Windows. she's adaptable. she's flexible. she reads the room. 😌

🫶 heads up: Qt provides no built-in mechanism for delivering only a single-line. so if you wanted just one lil line, that's on you, babe.

want the full lore on drag and drop? go see the QDragObject class and the drag and drop documentation. 📚

✨ MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION ✨

🎀 QTextDrag::QTextDrag ( const QString & text, QWidget * dragSource = 0, const char * name = 0 )

Constructs a text drag object and sets its data to text. dragSource must be the drag source; name is the object name. slay, now she has ✨content✨.

🎀 QTextDrag::QTextDrag ( QWidget * dragSource = 0, const char * name = 0 )

Constructs a default text drag object. dragSource must be the drag source; name is the object name. the blank canvas version. 🎨

🎀 QTextDrag::~QTextDrag ()

Destroys the text drag object and frees up all allocated resources. she's cleaning up after herself, as she should. 💅✨

🎀 bool QTextDrag::canDecode ( const QMimeSource * e ) [static]

Returns TRUE if the information in e can be decoded into a QString; otherwise returns FALSE. like a vibe check but for mime data. 🔍

See also decode().

Example: iconview/simple_dd/main.cpp.

🎀 bool QTextDrag::decode ( const QMimeSource * e, QString & str ) [static]

Attempts to decode the dropped information in e into str. Returns TRUE if successful; otherwise returns FALSE. 🫶

See also canDecode().

Example: iconview/simple_dd/main.cpp.

🎀 bool QTextDrag::decode ( const QMimeSource * e, QString & str, QCString & subtype ) [static]

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function. yes queen, she's the deluxe edition. 👑

Attempts to decode the dropped information in e into str. Returns TRUE if successful; otherwise returns FALSE. If subtype is null, any text subtype is accepted; otherwise only the specified subtype is accepted. picky but in a cute way. 🎀

See also canDecode().

🎀 void QTextDrag::setSubtype ( const QCString & st ) [virtual]

Sets the MIME subtype of the text being dragged to st. The default subtype is "plain", so the default MIME type of the text is "text/plain". 💌 You might use this to declare that the text is "text/html" by calling setSubtype("html"). glow-up achieved. ✨

🎀 void QTextDrag::setText ( const QString & text ) [virtual]

Sets the text to be dragged to text. You will need to call this if you did not pass the text during construction. tl;dr — forgot to bring the text? drop it in here, bestie. 🫶
