[Qt-qml] Is it possible to subclass a QDeclarative class ?

[Gregory Schlomoff]

Hi guys,

Anyone knows if it's possible to subclass a QDeclarative class? The
headers are private, and we get a lot of linker errors if we try to
include them.

Why we want to do that: we are working on a qml implementation of drag
& drop. Our first approach consisted of two custom items, DragArea and
DropArea, and it worked well, but then we found that it was
incompatible with MouseArea: we couldn't use MouseArea and our
DragArea at the same time on the same item, because either DragArea or
MouseArea would grab the mouse and the other won't get any event.

Now we are trying another approach, which is to make DragArea a
subclass of MouseArea. Thus, we could implement our drag and drop
functionnality, and still deliver all the regular mouse events to QML.

Any help with that would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
