    Question How can I drag a file out of a TreeView and into another application?

    I have a Treeview with QStandardItems. Each item has a path url to a local audio file and I am not sure how to add the ability to drag on of those items into another app like VLC.

    I am subclassing the TreeView class and overriding these methods

    //Mouse press event, start drag event
    void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent* event) override;

    // //drag operation in the form move event
    void dragMoveEvent(QDragMoveEvent* event) override;

    // //drag operation enters the form
    void dragEnterEvent(QDragEnterEvent* event) override;
    void dragLeaveEvent(QDragLeaveEvent* event) override;

    // //drop release event
    void dropEvent(QDropEvent* event) override;

    Still whenever I drag out an Item is is disabled

    If you do not create your QDrag object with QMimeData of the correct MIME type for VLC (or whatever the other app expects), then the other app will not accept it. So as Ginsengelf says:

    please show us how you create your QDrag object.

    Please use CODE tags when posting source code so it is more readable. Click "Go Advanced" and then the "#" icon to insert the tags. Paste your code between them.
