window (proxy) icon handling on Mac OS X
Message 1 in thread
I'm currently using Qt 4.3.2, and trying to implement proxy icon
support (click and drag to copy the file, and command-click for menu
showing file location) on Mac OS X. There is example code at http://
doc.trolltech.com/qq/qq18-macfeatures.html#newevents showing how to
handle the QEvent::IconDrag event to achieve this.
However, as far as I can tell, when I Command-click on the icon,
there is no IconDrag event sent, only NonClientAreaMouseButtonPress,
which isn't specific to clicks in the proxy icon. (IconDrag is sent
for clicks in the icon with other modifier keys, just not with the
Command key.)
Is this a bug, or is there some other way Command-click (i.e. click
with Qt::ControlModifier) in the proxy icon should be handled? I
couldn't find any other relevant event in the documentation, nor by
watching the events sent to my window.
Actually, for the correct user experience, we should respond to
Command-click in the window title as well as the actual proxy icon
(not within the entire title bar, only the width of the actual text).
Can anyone suggest how to do this in Qt?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Yeah, I reported this issue to the Trolls a while back (see tracker
192527) which now shows they've fixed the bug in Qt4.4.0. For now you
can respond to shift clicks instead of command clicks. In Qt4.4 you
can rip out all your slick proxy icon code since Trenton basically did
all the wrk for you and it looks far more native (wrt icons etc) then
ever before using a few easy to use methods...
