Detailed Description

Access the KDE global configuration.

int  dndEventDelay ()

dndEventDelay

[static]

Returns a threshold in pixels for drag & drop operations. As long as the mouse movement has not exceeded this number of pixels in either X or Y direction no drag operation may be started. This prevents spurious drags when the user intended to click on something but moved the mouse a bit while doing so.

For this to work you must save the position of the mouse (oldPos) in the QWidget::mousePressEvent(). When the position of the mouse (newPos) in a QWidget::mouseMoveEvent() exceeds this threshold you may start a drag which should originate from oldPos.

Example code:


 void KColorCells::mousePressEvent( QMouseEvent *e )
 {
    mOldPos = e->pos();
 }

 void KColorCells::mouseMoveEvent( QMouseEvent *e )
 {
    if( !(e->state() && LeftButton)) return;

    int delay = KGlobalSettings::dndEventDelay();
    QPoint newPos = e->pos();
    if(newPos.x() > mOldPos.x()+delay || newPos.x() < mOldPos.x()-delay ||
       newPos.y() > mOldPos.y()+delay || newPos.y() < mOldPos.y()-delay)
    {
       // Drag color object
       int cell = posToCell(mOldPos); // Find color at mOldPos
       if ((cell != -1) && colors[cell].isValid())
       {
          KColorDrag *d = KColorDrag::makeDrag( colors[cell], this);
          d->dragCopy();
       }
    }
 }
