Return the mouse position to its previous configurable location in QML?

Saeed_Nowroozi

I wrote a code that when pressed and hold left bottom hide cruises the mouse, and changes the value of a variable as the mouse changes position. Once the mouse is released, the mouse should appear where it was hidden. I checked all the properties of the MouseArea but it did not work.

Post a snippet of your 'working' code for us to see.

ApplicationWindow {

    function setText(event)
    {
        var the_key = event.key
        if (the_key === Qt.Key_Shift) return true
          return false
    }

    onPositionChanged: {  // MouseEvent OK

                        }

    }

}

Hello @Saeed_Nowroozi. I don't really know if what you want to do is available in QML. However, there is something in qt called "event filters": https://doc.qt.io/archives/4.6/eventsandfilters.html. You can create an event filter as shown in the link to filter mouse events and either let the application handle them or not. In your case, you may want to create some sort of variable that gets changed when you hide the mouse and stop all mouse navigation related events. If you have any other questions please let me know and I'll try my best to help you.
