Detailed Description
Abstract base class that may be implemented to handle new types of data to be dropped in QGIS.
Implementations have three approaches they can use to handle drops.
The simplest approach is to implement handeFileDrop() when they need to handle
dropped files (i.e. with mime type "text/uri-list").
Reimplement handleCustomUriDrop() when they want to handle dropped custom
QgsMimeDataUtils::Uri entries, for instance handling dropping custom entries from the browser tree (with mime type "application/x-vnd.qgis.qgis.uri"). In this case the implementation's customUriProviderKey() must match the uri entry's providerKey.
Reimplement handleMimeData() to directly handle dropped QMimeData.
Subclasses should take care when overriding this method. When a drop event occurs, Qt will lock the source application of the drag for the duration of the drop event handling via handleMimeData() (e.g. dragging files from explorer to QGIS will lock the explorer window until the drop handling has been complete). Accordingly handleMimeData() implementations must return quickly and defer any intensive or slow processing.

Member Function Documentation
◆ canHandleCustomUriCanvasDrop()
|
virtual |
Returns true if the handler is capable of handling the provided mime uri when dropped onto a map canvas.
The base class implementation returns false regardless of mime data.
This method is called when mime data is dragged over a map canvas, in order to determine whether any handlers are capable of handling the data and to determine whether the drag action should be accepted.
- Warning
- Subclasses should be very careful about implementing this. If they incorrectly return
trueto a uri, it will prevent the default application drop handling from occurring and will break the ability to drag and drop layers and files onto QGIS.

- QGIS 3.10
Definition at line 49 of file qgscustomdrophandler.cpp.
◆ canHandleMimeData()
|
virtual |
Returns true if the handler is capable of handling the provided mime data.
The base class implementation returns false regardless of mime data.
This method is called when mime data is dragged over the QGIS window, in order to determine whether any handlers are capable of handling the data and to determine whether the drag action should be accepted.
- Since
- QGIS 3.10
Definition at line 28 of file qgscustomdrophandler.cpp.
◆ customUriProviderKey()
|
virtual |
Type of custom URI recognized by the handler.
This must match the URI entry's providerKey in order for handleCustomUriDrop() to be called.
- See also
- handleCustomUriDrop()
Definition at line 18 of file qgscustomdrophandler.cpp.
◆ handleCustomUriCanvasDrop()
|
virtual |
Called from QGIS after a drop event with custom uri known by the handler occurs onto a map canvas.
In order for handleCustomUriCanvasDrop() to be called, subclasses must also implement customUriProviderKey() to indicate the providerKey value which the handler accepts.
If the function returns true, it means the handler has accepted the drop and it should not be further processed (e.g. by other QgsCustomDropHandlers).
Subclasses which implement this must also implement corresponding versions of canHandleCustomUriCanvasDrop().

- QGIS 3.10
Definition at line 54 of file qgscustomdrophandler.cpp.
◆ handleCustomUriDrop()
|
virtual |
Called from QGIS after a drop event with custom URI known by the handler.
In order for handleCustomUriDrop() to be called, subclasses must also implement customUriProviderKey() to indicate the providerKey value which the handler accepts.
- See also
- customUriProviderKey()
Definition at line 23 of file qgscustomdrophandler.cpp.
◆ handleFileDrop()
|
virtual |
Called when the specified file has been dropped onto QGIS.
If true is returned, then the handler has accepted this file and it should not be further processed (e.g. by other QgsCustomDropHandlers).
The base class implementation does nothing.
This method is not called directly while drop handling is occurring, so the limitations described in handleMimeData() about returning quickly do not apply.
Definition at line 43 of file qgscustomdrophandler.cpp.
◆ handleMimeData()
|
virtual |
Called when the specified mime data has been dropped onto QGIS.
The base class implementation does nothing.
Subclasses should take care when overriding this method. When a drop event occurs, Qt will lock the source application of the drag for the duration of the drop event handling (e.g. dragging files from explorer to QGIS will lock the explorer window until the drop handling has been complete).
Accordingly, only implementations must be lightweight and return ASAP. (For instance by copying the relevant parts of data and then handling the data after a short timeout).
- Deprecated:
- since QGIS 3.10 - use handleMimeDataV2() instead.

◆ handleMimeDataV2()
|
virtual |
Called when the specified mime data has been dropped onto QGIS.
The base class implementation does nothing.
Subclasses should take care when overriding this method. When a drop event occurs, Qt will lock the source application of the drag for the duration of the drop event handling (e.g. dragging files from explorer to QGIS will lock the explorer window until the drop handling has been complete).
