[Qt-interest] Can I enable a user to drag and place a, for example, QPushButton on a form?

[Davor J.]

You have read this right?: http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/dnd.html

Have you studied the Qt examples mentioned there?

There is also a whole chapter about drag & drop in Blanchette's book about 
Qt. (The old first edition is freely distributed.) There is an example about 
moving QListWidgetItems from QListWidget to QListWidget if I remeber 
correctly.

Regards,
Davor
