By default, the QAbstractTableModel
class has a mimeData()
function that returns a QMimeData
object which has it\'s data set as an enc
6 years late, but in case someone hit the issue in the future, here's a more complete solution. It also handle the corner case where there is typed, but invalid QVariants (because they are not serializable). In my (related, but not identical) use case, I mostly cared about the source and destination QVariants to be type compatible, I didn't cared as much about the value, but the code should work.
#include

class QMimeData;
class QModelDataListDecoderPrivate;
/*
* The default model implementation adds the `application/x-qabstractitemmodeldatalist`
* MIME Type. This things is totally undocumented, but some reverse engineering
* of it's encoder indicate it is (as of Qt 5.6) an array of:
*
* Tuple>
*
* pushed in a `QDataStream`. This format suck, as it's not really able to
* express the source `QModelIndex`. However, it does contain the QVariant
* of some of its role. From them, even the invalid ones, the QMetaType id
* should be pushed into the stream. It should have been easy, but there
* is another problem. QVariant::load exits early when decoding a QMetaType
* that cannot be encoder. While it prints the QMetaType on stderr, it doesn't
* export it. This, in turn, causes another problem where the QMap will be empty
* if a single element fail to be deserialized. This little class implements a
* serializable Qt type that mimics the QVariant decoder to be able to extract
* the correct type.
*
* The QVariant data is encoded as (it is stable and documented):
*
* * The type of the data (quint32)
* * The null flag (qint8)
* * The data of the specified type
*
* Reference:
*
* * http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/datastreamformat.html
* * qvariant.cpp
* * qabstractitemmodel.cpp
