QTreeView Drag and Drop

[NIteLordz]

Currently i am able to drag an item from a QListView into a QTreeView. Now i am trying to visualize the drag and drop, and have run into a problem.

In dragMoveEvent i get a copy of event->answerRect() and then i use it in the paintEvent. See below code.

void SceneTreeView::paintEvent(QPaintEvent* event) {
	QPainter painter(viewport());
 
	QModelIndex modelIndex = indexAt(QPoint(dropSite_.x(), dropSite_.y()));
	QRect answerRect = visualRect(modelIndex);
 
	QBrush brush(Qt::black, Qt::Dense4Pattern);
 
	QPen pen;
	pen.setWidth(2);
	pen.setBrush(brush);
 
	painter.setPen(pen);
	painter.drawRect(answerRect);
 
	QTreeView::paintEvent(event);
 
	event->accept();
}

void SceneTreeView::paintEvent(QPaintEvent* event) {
	QPainter painter(viewport());
	
	QModelIndex modelIndex = indexAt(QPoint(dropSite_.x(), dropSite_.y()));
	QRect answerRect = visualRect(modelIndex);

	QBrush brush(Qt::black, Qt::Dense4Pattern);
	
	QPen pen;
	pen.setWidth(2);
	pen.setBrush(brush);
	
	painter.setPen(pen);
	painter.drawRect(answerRect);

	QTreeView::paintEvent(event);

	event->accept();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This will draw a box around the entire item within the SceneTreeView, but only if the cursor is on the edge of the widget. if i hover the mouse over the middle of the widget, where the actual item is displayed, the box does not update, only when i move it to the right, and approach the border.

thoughts ?
