The QMimeData class provides a container for data that records information about its MIME type.
C++ class: QMimeData
.
The QMimeData class provides a container for data that records information about its MIME type.
QMimeData is used to describe information that can be stored in the clipboard, and transferred via the drag and drop mechanism. QMimeData objects associate the data that they hold with the corresponding MIME types to ensure that information can be safely transferred between applications, and copied around within the same application.
QMimeData objects are usually created using new
and supplied to QDrag or QClipboard objects. This is to enable Qt to manage the memory that they use.
A single QMimeData object can store the same data using several different formats at the same time. The formats() function returns a list of the available formats in order of preference. The data() function returns the raw data associated with a MIME type, and setData() allows you to set the data for a MIME type.
For the most common MIME types, QMimeData provides convenience functions to access the data:
Tester | Getter | Setter | MIME Types |
---|---|---|---|
hasText() | text() | setText() | text/plain |
hasHtml() | html() | setHtml() | text/html |
hasUrls() | urls() | setUrls() | text/uri-list |
hasImage() | imageData() | setImageData() | image/ * |
hasColor() | colorData() | setColorData() | application/x-color |
For example, if your write a widget that accepts URL drags, you would end up writing code like this:
void MyWidget::dragEnterEvent(QDragEnterEvent *event) { if (event->mimeData()->hasUrls()) event->acceptProposedAction(); }
void MyWidget::dropEvent(QDropEvent *event) { if (event->mimeData()->hasUrls()) { foreach (QUrl url, event->mimeData()->urls()) { ... } } }
There are three approaches for storing custom data in a QMimeData object:
- Custom data can be stored directly in a QMimeData object as a QByteArray using setData(). For example:
QByteArray csvData = ...;
QMimeData *mimeData = new QMimeData; mimeData->setData(“text/csv”, csvData);
- We can subclass QMimeData and reimplement hasFormat(), formats(), and retrieveData().
- If the drag and drop operation occurs within a single application, we can subclass QMimeData and add extra data in it, and use a qobject_cast() in the receiver's drop event handler. For example:
void MyWidget::dropEvent(QDropEvent event) { const MyMimeData myData = qobject_cast<const MyMimeData *>(event->mimeData()); if (myData) { // access myData’s data directly (not through QMimeData’s API) } }

) -> Result<QPtr<T>, FindChildError>
pub unsafe fn find_child<T>( &self, name: &str ) -> Result<QPtr<T>, FindChildError>
Finds a child of self
with the specified object name
and casts it to type T
.
The search is performed recursively. If there is more than one child matching the search, the most direct ancestor is returned. If there are several direct ancestors, it is undefined which one will be returned.
Returns an error if there is no child object with object name name
or
the found object cannot be cast to T
.
sourcepub fn destroyed(&self) -> Signal<(*mut QObject,)>
pub fn destroyed(&self) -> Signal<(*mut QObject,)>
This signal is emitted immediately before the object obj is destroyed, and can not be blocked.
Returns a built-in Qt signal QObject::destroyed
that can be passed to qt_core::Signal::connect
.
This signal is emitted immediately before the object obj is destroyed, and can not be blocked.
All the objects's children are destroyed immediately after this signal is emitted.
See also deleteLater() and QPointer.
sourcepub fn object_name_changed(&self) -> Signal<(*const QString,)>
pub fn object_name_changed(&self) -> Signal<(*const QString,)>
This signal is emitted after the object's name has been changed. The new object name is passed as objectName.
Returns a built-in Qt signal QObject::objectNameChanged
that can be passed to qt_core::Signal::connect
.
This signal is emitted after the object’s name has been changed. The new object name is passed as objectName.
Note: This is a private signal. It can be used in signal connections but cannot be emitted by the user.
Note: Notifier signal for property objectName.
See also QObject::objectName.
sourcepub fn slot_delete_later(&self) -> Receiver<()>
pub fn slot_delete_later(&self) -> Receiver<()>
Schedules this object for deletion.
Returns a built-in Qt slot QObject::deleteLater
that can be passed to qt_core::Signal::connect
.
Schedules this object for deletion.
The object will be deleted when control returns to the event loop. If the event loop is not running when this function is called (e.g. deleteLater() is called on an object before QCoreApplication::exec()), the object will be deleted once the event loop is started. If deleteLater() is called after the main event loop has stopped, the object will not be deleted. Since Qt 4.8, if deleteLater() is called on an object that lives in a thread with no running event loop, the object will be destroyed when the thread finishes.
Note that entering and leaving a new event loop (e.g., by opening a modal dialog) will not perform the deferred deletion; for the object to be deleted, the control must return to the event loop from which deleteLater() was called.
Note: It is safe to call this function more than once; when the first deferred deletion event is delivered, any pending events for the object are removed from the event queue.
sourcepub unsafe fn block_signals(&self, b: bool) -> bool
pub unsafe fn block_signals(&self, b: bool) -> bool
If block is true, signals emitted by this object are blocked (i.e., emitting a signal will not invoke anything connected to it). If block is false, no such blocking will occur.
Calls C++ function: bool QObject::blockSignals(bool b)
.
If block is true, signals emitted by this object are blocked (i.e., emitting a signal will not invoke anything connected to it). If block is false, no such blocking will occur.
The return value is the previous value of signalsBlocked().
Note that the destroyed() signal will be emitted even if the signals for this object have been blocked.
Signals emitted while being blocked are not buffered.
See also signalsBlocked() and QSignalBlocker.
sourcepub unsafe fn children(&self) -> Ref<QListOfQObject>
pub unsafe fn children(&self) -> Ref<QListOfQObject>
Returns a list of child objects. The QObjectList class is defined in the <QObject>
header file as the following:
Calls C++ function: const QList<QObject*>& QObject::children() const
.
Returns a list of child objects. The QObjectList class is defined in the <QObject>
header file as the following:
typedef QList<QObject*> QObjectList;
The first child added is the first object in the list and the last child added is the last object in the list, i.e. new children are appended at the end.
Note that the list order changes when QWidget children are raised or lowered. A widget that is raised becomes the last object in the list, and a widget that is lowered becomes the first object in the list.
See also findChild(), findChildren(), parent(), and setParent().
sourcepub unsafe fn delete_later(&self)
pub unsafe fn delete_later(&self)
Schedules this object for deletion.
Calls C++ function: [slot] void QObject::deleteLater()
.
Schedules this object for deletion.
The object will be deleted when control returns to the event loop. If the event loop is not running when this function is called (e.g. deleteLater() is called on an object before QCoreApplication::exec()), the object will be deleted once the event loop is started. If deleteLater() is called after the main event loop has stopped, the object will not be deleted. Since Qt 4.8, if deleteLater() is called on an object that lives in a thread with no running event loop, the object will be destroyed when the thread finishes.
Note that entering and leaving a new event loop (e.g., by opening a modal dialog) will not perform the deferred deletion; for the object to be deleted, the control must return to the event loop from which deleteLater() was called.
Note: It is safe to call this function more than once; when the first deferred deletion event is delivered, any pending events for the object are removed from the event queue.

Example:
class MyClass : public QWidget { Q_OBJECT
public: MyClass(QWidget *parent = 0); ~MyClass();
bool event(QEvent* ev) { if (ev->type() == QEvent::PolishRequest) { // overwrite handling of PolishRequest if any doThings(); return true; } else if (ev->type() == QEvent::Show) { // complement handling of Show if any doThings2(); QWidget::event(ev); return true; } // Make sure the rest of events are handled return QWidget::event(ev); } };

sourcepub unsafe fn event_filter(
&self,
watched: impl CastInto<Ptr<QObject>>,
event: impl CastInto<Ptr<QEvent>>
) -> bool
pub unsafe fn event_filter( &self, watched: impl CastInto<Ptr<QObject>>, event: impl CastInto<Ptr<QEvent>> ) -> bool
Filters events if this object has been installed as an event filter for the watched object.
Calls C++ function: virtual bool QObject::eventFilter(QObject* watched, QEvent* event)
.
Filters events if this object has been installed as an event filter for the watched object.
In your reimplementation of this function, if you want to filter the event out, i.e. stop it being handled further, return true; otherwise return false.
Example:
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow { public: MainWindow();
protected: bool eventFilter(QObject obj, QEvent ev);
private: QTextEdit *textEdit; };
MainWindow::MainWindow() { textEdit = new QTextEdit; setCentralWidget(textEdit);
textEdit->installEventFilter(this); }
bool MainWindow::eventFilter(QObject obj, QEvent event) { if (obj == textEdit) { if (event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress) { QKeyEvent keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent>(event); qDebug() << “Ate key press” << keyEvent->key(); return true; } else { return false; } } else { // pass the event on to the parent class return QMainWindow::eventFilter(obj, event); } }
Notice in the example above that unhandled events are passed to the base class's eventFilter() function, since the base class might have reimplemented eventFilter() for its own internal purposes.
Warning: If you delete the receiver object in this function, be sure to return true. Otherwise, Qt will forward the event to the deleted object and the program might crash.
See also installEventFilter().

Returns the child of this object that can be cast into type T and that is called name, or 0 if there is no such object. Omitting the name argument causes all object names to be matched. The search is performed recursively, unless options specifies the option FindDirectChildrenOnly.
Calls C++ function: QObject* QObject::findChild<QObject*>(const QString& aName = …, QFlags<Qt::FindChildOption> options = …) const
.
Returns the child of this object that can be cast into type T and that is called name, or 0 if there is no such object. Omitting the name argument causes all object names to be matched. The search is performed recursively, unless options specifies the option FindDirectChildrenOnly.

sourcepub unsafe fn inherits(&self, classname: *const c_char) -> bool
pub unsafe fn inherits(&self, classname: *const c_char) -> bool
Returns true
if this object is an instance of a class that inherits className or a QObject subclass that inherits className; otherwise returns false
.
Calls C++ function: bool QObject::inherits(const char* classname) const
.
Returns true
if this object is an instance of a class that inherits className or a QObject subclass that inherits className; otherwise returns false
.
A class is considered to inherit itself.
Example:
QTimer *timer = new QTimer; // QTimer inherits QObject timer->inherits(“QTimer”); // returns true timer->inherits(“QObject”); // returns true timer->inherits(“QAbstractButton”); // returns false
// QVBoxLayout inherits QObject and QLayoutItem QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout; layout->inherits(“QObject”); // returns true layout->inherits(“QLayoutItem”); // returns true (even though QLayoutItem is not a QObject)
If you need to determine whether an object is an instance of a particular class for the purpose of casting it, consider using qobject_cast<Type *>(object) instead.
See also metaObject() and qobject_cast().
sourcepub unsafe fn install_event_filter(
&self,
filter_obj: impl CastInto<Ptr<QObject>>
)
pub unsafe fn install_event_filter( &self, filter_obj: impl CastInto<Ptr<QObject>> )
Installs an event filter filterObj on this object. For example:
Calls C++ function: void QObject::installEventFilter(QObject* filterObj)
.
Installs an event filter filterObj on this object. For example:
monitoredObj->installEventFilter(filterObj);
An event filter is an object that receives all events that are sent to this object. The filter can either stop the event or forward it to this object. The event filter filterObj receives events via its eventFilter() function. The eventFilter() function must return true if the event should be filtered, (i.e. stopped); otherwise it must return false.
If multiple event filters are installed on a single object, the filter that was installed last is activated first.
Here's a KeyPressEater
class that eats the key presses of its monitored objects:
class KeyPressEater : public QObject { Q_OBJECT ...
protected: bool eventFilter(QObject obj, QEvent event); };
bool KeyPressEater::eventFilter(QObject obj, QEvent event) { if (event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress) { QKeyEvent keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent >(event); qDebug(“Ate key press %d”, keyEvent->key()); return true; } else { // standard event processing return QObject::eventFilter(obj, event); } }
And here's how to install it on two widgets:
KeyPressEater keyPressEater = new KeyPressEater(this); QPushButton pushButton = new QPushButton(this); QListView *listView = new QListView(this);
pushButton->installEventFilter(keyPressEater); listView->installEventFilter(keyPressEater);
The QShortcut class, for example, uses this technique to intercept shortcut key presses.
Warning: If you delete the receiver object in your eventFilter() function, be sure to return true. If you return false, Qt sends the event to the deleted object and the program will crash.
Note that the filtering object must be in the same thread as this object. If filterObj is in a different thread, this function does nothing. If either filterObj or this object are moved to a different thread after calling this function, the event filter will not be called until both objects have the same thread affinity again (it is not removed).
See also removeEventFilter(), eventFilter(), and event().
sourcepub unsafe fn is_widget_type(&self) -> bool

sourcepub unsafe fn kill_timer(&self, id: c_int)
pub unsafe fn kill_timer(&self, id: c_int)
Kills the timer with timer identifier, id.
Calls C++ function: void QObject::killTimer(int id)
.
Kills the timer with timer identifier, id.
The timer identifier is returned by startTimer() when a timer event is started.
See also timerEvent() and startTimer().
sourcepub unsafe fn meta_object(&self) -> Ptr<QMetaObject>
pub unsafe fn meta_object(&self) -> Ptr<QMetaObject>
Returns a pointer to the meta-object of this object.
Calls C++ function: virtual const QMetaObject* QObject::metaObject() const
.
Returns a pointer to the meta-object of this object.
A meta-object contains information about a class that inherits QObject, e.g. class name, superclass name, properties, signals and slots. Every QObject subclass that contains the Q_OBJECT macro will have a meta-object.
The meta-object information is required by the signal/slot connection mechanism and the property system. The inherits() function also makes use of the meta-object.
If you have no pointer to an actual object instance but still want to access the meta-object of a class, you can use staticMetaObject.
Example:
QObject *obj = new QPushButton; obj->metaObject()->className(); // returns “QPushButton”
QPushButton::staticMetaObject.className(); // returns “QPushButton”
See also staticMetaObject.
sourcepub unsafe fn move_to_thread(&self, thread: impl CastInto<Ptr<QThread>>)
pub unsafe fn move_to_thread(&self, thread: impl CastInto<Ptr<QThread>>)
Changes the thread affinity for this object and its children. The object cannot be moved if it has a parent. Event processing will continue in the targetThread.
Calls C++ function: void QObject::moveToThread(QThread* thread)
.
Changes the thread affinity for this object and its children. The object cannot be moved if it has a parent. Event processing will continue in the targetThread.
To move an object to the main thread, use QApplication::instance() to retrieve a pointer to the current application, and then use QApplication::thread() to retrieve the thread in which the application lives. For example:
myObject->moveToThread(QApplication::instance()->thread());
If targetThread is zero, all event processing for this object and its children stops.
Note that all active timers for the object will be reset. The timers are first stopped in the current thread and restarted (with the same interval) in the targetThread. As a result, constantly moving an object between threads can postpone timer events indefinitely.
A QEvent::ThreadChange event is sent to this object just before the thread affinity is changed. You can handle this event to perform any special processing. Note that any new events that are posted to this object will be handled in the targetThread.
Warning: This function is not thread-safe; the current thread must be same as the current thread affinity. In other words, this function can only "push" an object from the current thread to another thread, it cannot "pull" an object from any arbitrary thread to the current thread.

Calls C++ function: void QObject::removeEventFilter(QObject* obj)
.
Removes an event filter object obj from this object. The request is ignored if such an event filter has not been installed.
All event filters for this object are automatically removed when this object is destroyed.
It is always safe to remove an event filter, even during event filter activation (i.e. from the eventFilter() function).

name: *const c_char,
value: impl CastInto<Ref<QVariant>>
) -> bool
pub unsafe fn set_property( &self, name: *const c_char, value: impl CastInto<Ref<QVariant>> ) -> bool
Sets the value of the object's name property to value.
Calls C++ function: bool QObject::setProperty(const char* name, const QVariant& value)
.
Sets the value of the object’s name property to value.
If the property is defined in the class using Q_PROPERTY then true is returned on success and false otherwise. If the property is not defined using Q_PROPERTY, and therefore not listed in the meta-object, it is added as a dynamic property and false is returned.
Information about all available properties is provided through the metaObject() and dynamicPropertyNames().
Dynamic properties can be queried again using property() and can be removed by setting the property value to an invalid QVariant. Changing the value of a dynamic property causes a QDynamicPropertyChangeEvent to be sent to the object.
Note: Dynamic properties starting with "_q_" are reserved for internal purposes.

sourcepub unsafe fn start_timer_2a(
&self,
interval: c_int,
timer_type: TimerType
) -> c_int
pub unsafe fn start_timer_2a( &self, interval: c_int, timer_type: TimerType ) -> c_int
Starts a timer and returns a timer identifier, or returns zero if it could not start a timer.
Calls C++ function: int QObject::startTimer(int interval, Qt::TimerType timerType = …)
.
Starts a timer and returns a timer identifier, or returns zero if it could not start a timer.
A timer event will occur every interval milliseconds until killTimer() is called. If interval is 0, then the timer event occurs once every time there are no more window system events to process.
The virtual timerEvent() function is called with the QTimerEvent event parameter class when a timer event occurs. Reimplement this function to get timer events.
If multiple timers are running, the QTimerEvent::timerId() can be used to find out which timer was activated.
Example:
class MyObject : public QObject { Q_OBJECT
public: MyObject(QObject *parent = 0);
protected: void timerEvent(QTimerEvent *event); };
MyObject::MyObject(QObject *parent) : QObject(parent) { startTimer(50); // 50-millisecond timer startTimer(1000); // 1-second timer startTimer(60000); // 1-minute timer
using namespace std::chrono; startTimer(milliseconds(50)); startTimer(seconds(1)); startTimer(minutes(1));
// since C++14 we can use std::chrono::duration literals, e.g.: startTimer(100ms); startTimer(5s); startTimer(2min); startTimer(1h); }
void MyObject::timerEvent(QTimerEvent *event) { qDebug() << “Timer ID:” << event->timerId(); }
Note that QTimer's accuracy depends on the underlying operating system and hardware. The timerType argument allows you to customize the accuracy of the timer. See Qt::TimerType for information on the different timer types. Most platforms support an accuracy of 20 milliseconds; some provide more. If Qt is unable to deliver the requested number of timer events, it will silently discard some.
The QTimer class provides a high-level programming interface with single-shot timers and timer signals instead of events. There is also a QBasicTimer class that is more lightweight than QTimer and less clumsy than using timer IDs directly.
See also timerEvent(), killTimer(), and QTimer::singleShot().
