Solved How does QT Handle overlapping mouse areas?
-
Hi,
I am creating a plotting component, which has a
MouseArea
over the whole window for zooming and dragging. On top of this, I want to be able to set marks like this:Rectangle{ id: recMark border.width: 0 width: 1 height: parent.height y: 0 z: 5 color: "red" opacity: 0.3 visible: true MouseArea { anchors.fill: parent drag.target: recMark drag.axis: Drag.XAxis } }
Which MouseArea will be active if I click on this Rectangle? And is it possible to control which MouseArea is active?

The topmost one (determined by
z
value) will be "active" - it will catch mouse events.You can pass them on if you want your bottom one to get some events: in respective event slot set
mouse.accepted = false
and the event will be propagated further.All this is described in detail here: link.
