Drag and drop QStandardItem holding file paths to another application in C++? - c++

Question

I have a treeview which is modeling a file tree. Each item in the TreeView is a QstandardItem that holds a file path. I would like to be able to get the file it referres to and drag the item into another application. The files are all video files so I would like to add the ability to drag and drop into VLC, Adobe Premier etc.

minialistic code :
main.cpp
drag d:/1.txt drop to notepad
#include <QtWidgets/QApplication>
#include <QMimeData>
#include <QTreeView>
#include <QDrag>
#include <QStandardItemModel>
#include<QUrl>
class Myodel :public QStandardItemModel
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
QStringList mimeTypes() const override
{
return QStringList(QLatin1String("text/uri-list"));
}
QMimeData* mimeData(const QModelIndexList& indexes) const override
{
QList<QUrl> urls;
QList<QModelIndex>::const_iterator it = indexes.begin();
for (; it != indexes.end(); ++it)
if ((*it).column() == 0)
urls << QUrl::fromLocalFile("d:/1.txt");
QMimeData* data = new QMimeData();
data->setUrls(urls);
return data;
}
};
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
Myodel* model = new Myodel;
QStandardItem* parentItem = model->invisibleRootItem();
for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) {
QStandardItem* item = new QStandardItem(QString("item %0").arg(i));
parentItem->appendRow(item);
parentItem = item;
}
QTreeView* tree = new QTreeView();
tree->setModel(model);
tree->setDragEnabled(true);
tree->show();
return a.exec();
}
