    Default Is it possible to QCoreApplication.sendEvent a hand made QDropEvent ?

    Is it possible to manually create a custom QDropEvent, and then send it to a widget ?

    Qt Code:
    1. in a dialog.button.clicked slot:
    2. md = QtCore.QMimeData()
    3. md.setText('ZZz')
    4. e = QtGui.QDropEvent( QtCore.QPoint( 1, 1 ) , QtCore.Qt.CopyAction ,
    5. md, QtCore.Qt.NoButton, QtCore.Qt.NoModifier ,QtCore.QEvent.Drop )
    6.  
    7. print QtGui.QApplication.instance().sendEvent( self , e ) # prints False
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    The above is not working. It does work for myEvent subclass of QEvent, but not for a QDropEvent. I am curious why.

    Did you send drag enter event and drag move event prior to sending the drop event?
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.
