# qstoreddrag(3qt)

Simple stored-value drag object for arbitrary MIME data

## NAME

QStoredDrag - Simple stored-value drag object for arbitrary MIME data

## SYNOPSIS

`#include <qdragobject.h>`

Inherits QDragObject.

Inherited by QUriDrag and QColorDrag.

### Public Members

**QStoredDrag ( const char \* mimeType, QWidget \* dragSource = 0, const char \* name = 0 )**\
 **~QStoredDrag ()**\
 **virtual void setEncodedData ( const QByteArray & encodedData )**\
 **virtual QByteArray encodedData ( const char \* m ) const**\

## DESCRIPTION

The QStoredDrag class provides a simple stored-value drag object for arbitrary MIME data.

When a block of data has only one representation, you can use a QStoredDrag to hold it.

For more information about drag and drop, see the QDragObject class and the drag and drop documentation.

See also Drag And Drop Classes.

## MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

## QStoredDrag::QStoredDrag ( const char \* mimeType, QWidget \* dragSource = 0, const char \* name = 0 )

Constructs a QStoredDrag. The *dragSource* and *name* are passed to the QDragObject constructor, and the format is set to *mimeType*.

The data will be unset. Use setEncodedData() to set it.

## QStoredDrag::~QStoredDrag ()

Destroys the drag object and frees up all allocated resources.

## QByteArray QStoredDrag::encodedData ( const char \* m ) const` [virtual]`

Returns the stored data. *m* contains the data's format.

See also setEncodedData().

Reimplemented from QMimeSource.

## void QStoredDrag::setEncodedData ( const QByteArray & encodedData )` [virtual]`

Sets the encoded data of this drag object to *encodedData*. The encoded data is what's delivered to the drop sites. It must be in a strictly defined and portable format.

The drag object can't be dropped (by the user) until this function has been called.
