NAME
       QMimeSource - Abstraction of objects which provide formatted data of a certain MIME type

SYNOPSIS
       #include <qmime.h>

       Inherited by QDragObject and QDropEvent.

   Public Members
       QMimeSource ()
       virtual ~QMimeSource ()
       virtual const char * format ( int i = 0 ) const = 0
       virtual bool provides ( const char * mimeType ) const
       virtual QByteArray encodedData ( const char * ) const = 0
       int serialNumber () const

DESCRIPTION
       The QMimeSource class is an abstraction of objects which provide formatted data of a certain MIME type.

       Drag-and-drop and clipboard use this abstraction.

       See also IANA list of MIME media types, Drag And Drop Classes, Input/Output and Networking, and Miscellaneous Classes.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
QMimeSource::QMimeSource ()
       Constructs a mime source and assigns a globally unique serial number to it.

       See also serialNumber().

QMimeSource::~QMimeSource () [virtual]
       Provided to ensure that subclasses destroy themselves correctly.

QByteArray QMimeSource::encodedData ( const char * ) const [pure virtual]
       Returns the encoded data of this object in the specified MIME format.

       Subclasses must reimplement this function.

       Reimplemented in QStoredDrag, QDropEvent, and QIconDrag.

const char * QMimeSource::format ( int i = 0 ) const [pure virtual]
       Returns the i-th supported MIME format, or 0.

       Reimplemented in QDropEvent.

bool QMimeSource::provides ( const char * mimeType ) const [virtual]
       Returns TRUE if the object can provide the data in format mimeType; otherwise returns FALSE.

       If you inherit from QMimeSource, for consistency reasons it is better to implement the more abstract canDecode() functions such as
       QTextDrag::canDecode() and QImageDrag::canDecode().

       Example: iconview/simple_dd/main.cpp.

       Reimplemented in QDropEvent.

int QMimeSource::serialNumber () const
       Returns the mime source's globally unique serial number.
