31 \brief An overview of the drag and drop system provided by Qt.

35 Drag and drop provides a simple visual mechanism which users can use
36 to transfer information between and within applications. (In the
37 literature this is referred to as a "direct manipulation model".) Drag
38 and drop is similar in function to the clipboard's cut and paste
39 mechanism.

43 This document describes the basic drag and drop mechanism and
44 outlines the approach used to enable it in custom widgets. Drag
45 and drop operations are also supported by Qt's item views and by
46 the graphics view framework. More information is available in
47 \l{Using drag and drop with item views} and \l{Graphics View
48 Framework}.
