Hi there,<br>
<br>
I try to enable a drag&drop-action between to QScintilla widgets but I<br>
don't want that the text of the source window is deleted if no keyboard<br>
modifiers are used once the text is dropped onto another text field.<br>
<br>
I tried to changed the defaultDropAction in the drop-event of the receiver<br>
widget, however QSciScinitllabase::dropEvent calls acceptAction (private)<br>
that calls acceptProposedAction() instead of accept() such that the<br>
original default action of QDrag::exec is used (MoveAction).<br>
<br>
Unfortunately acceptAction is private and cannot be overwritten.<br>
Is there another possibility to force the source QScintilla instance not to<br>
delete the text after an arbitrary drag&drop action?<br>
<br>
I'm thankful for any suggestion.<br>

One way to change the default drop action in a reimplemented dropEvent method, is to reset it on the event object *after* calling the base-class dropEvent. Not sure if this is the way it's supposed to be done, but it works for me.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
