Question

In QListView, i’d like to disable mouse drag multiple selection – that is, mous down on a row, drag the mouse down and select the rows below it while dragging.

I’d still like row selection using CTRL-mouse click.

Is that possible?

I think the easiest way to do it would be to create a derived class from the QListView and then override its mouseMoveEvent function. This function in the Qt Code for the QListView looks for a dragging state and creates a rectangle. I think something like this may work, but I didn’t test it:

void DerivedListView::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *e) {
    if (state() != DragSelectingState)
        QListView::mouseMoveEvent(e);
}
