QGraphicsItems, QGraphicsProxyWidgets and HoverEvents

Pippin

Hello,

I have coded my application so that, if I hover on my QGraphicsItems long enough (200 ms), QGraphicsProxyWidgets (which are QToolButtons) appear on them. I've also coded my application so that, if I stop hovering on my QGraphicsItems, all QGraphicsProxyWidgets/QToolButtons instantly disappear.

And this is a problem because, if I decide to click on one of those QGraphicsProxyWidgets/QToolButtons, I stop hovering on the QGraphicsItem beneath it first, and all QGraphicsProxyWidgets/QToolButtons disappear right away as a result.

Is there a way to fix that? I would like to make my QGraphicsProxyWidgets/QToolButtons transparent hovering-wise, I mean: they are visible, but if I hover on them, they are not considered to be hovered on and instead, the first QGraphicsItem under them is. That would solve my problem but I don't know if that's possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

You can try with an event filter. See QObject::installEventFilter for more information

Hello @SGaist , I'm sorry but I'm not sure I understand what I should try. How can filters solve this problem?

Edit: I've managed it by subclassing QGraphicsScene. Thanks.
