If by "that" you mean dragging in edit mode, then no.  If by "that" you mean 
"getting user input by dragging a rectangle" then see also [grid], [vsl], [hsl] and 
probably lots of others that I'm forgetting.

I think katja was using [tot] to get radiobutton to act as a draggable ui rectangle.

I didn't mean to imply there was anything wrong with it.  It had to do with 
accidentally enabling a testing repo on my OS and ending up with some Qt libs 
from one version and some from another.  From what I've seen so far Qt's documentation 
is excellent, as are the development tools.
