I have a scene with a 12*4 grid with blocks of QGraphicsItems ,when i right click on the blocks I have a contexmenu that can add icons inside the blocks my proplem is that I can't fingure out how can I make those icons draggable to the other blocks inside the graphic scene ,I know there is the "Draggable Icons Example" but how can I implement that code to a graphic scene.
this is the mainwindow.h

First of all if you want to place a QGraphicsPixmapItem on top of another item, a better option is to set it as your parentItem.
On the other hand we can use an event filter but a better option in this case is to implement a custom QGraphicsScene, and when pressing with the left key it allows to drag the item, for that we use QDrag and we pass the data of the item, then we overwrite the event dropEvent where we will obtain the item and establish a new parent.

}
Then we establish that new scene and add the Blocks.
