Finally I searched a while by myself, and I think I may answer my own question. Although I couldn't completely resolve my issue, I noticed that the answer is hidden in the other MouseArea events. For example, by handling the onPressed event and adding the mouse.accepted in several key locations, I could let the component take care of the scrolling when the left mouse button is pressed, whereas the right click opens a popup menu. My conclusion is that there is no ready-to-use way, i.e there is no parameter to activate in the MouseArea itself which may resolve this kind of issue, and the solution is a good balance between activating different parameters in the different functions.

Solved, overrode the standard event() and just used event.type() == QEvent::hovermove to get what I needed.

@nebulaekg It wasn't wrong, it was just the easy method. With easy comes very little customization. Now that you want to change it's behavior it becomes much harder. For simple lists you can definitely use the widget but for anything more you want a view/model and then delegates to control display. Check into it I'm sure you'll find it's not that much harder than the widget and will give you the control you want. :)

@mrjj I don't want to resize it via a dialog. I need to do that with the mouse (manually)

Because QWS is Qt 4 only.

@HunterMetcalfe said: @raven-worx Quick question again. So I have a QWidget that is made up of other QWidgets. For BaseClass:: would that perhaps just be QWidget or would it be the Widget that contains that widget. What i meant is that you need to subclass every widget type and reimplement this method for every widget (and parent widget) you'd like to see this behavior. So if you only want it to happen for a certain container, every child widget of the container has to have this method reimplemented.

Filed a bug report at https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-53054.

Oops sorry about that. I'll write Qt from now on haha. Thanks for correcting me. Also, thank you for the info. I am looking into it right now!

You're welcome ! Since the mystery is gone, please mark the thread as solved using the "Topic Tool" button so that other forum users may know a solution has been found :)

more cursors [EDIT: Irrelevant link removed --JKSH]

Ive been looking into this a bit more myself and ive found that the TableView headerVisible property makes a big difference. I am currently hiding the header. When headerVisible=false then tableView.__listView.columnAt(x) always returns -1. When headerVisible=true then tableView.__listView.columnAt(x) works correctly. Id like to keep the table's header hidden if possible, hopefully a workaround for tableView.__listView.columnAt(x) is possible. Also, im on Windows with Qt5.5.1 mingw if that makes any difference.

Hi, QWidget::mousePressEvent is probably what you are looking for

I looked at using the QMouseEvent and using the ignore() function, but the computer still took input from the mouse. Although I have found filters for it, I don't understand them and would like to simply disable input from the mouse. What would you reccomend aside from the mouseMoveEvents, which I didn't fully understand?

I had an old mouse that gave irratic scroll wheel signals. It still worked but I did notice it jumpy when trying to scoll windows on occasion (all windows, not just Qt). I don't know what you are using but I would make sure the problem is not hardware.

Hi SGaist, Thanks for the tip. I made a comment on the linked bug. Hopefully, that helps someone!

Yes I am sure, the one with the capital is a signal while the other is a slot

Hi @vladinko0, You can use onEntered handler to trigger the animation.

OK, here are my suggestions: use Flickable's flick() method link. It should work better than your solution, be more fluid and natural-looking 1ms timer resolution is completely useless: QtQuick updates the screen (paints a new frame) every 16.6 ms to achieve constant 60 Hz refresh rate. So you are wasting time and CPU power by invoking it 16 times more often than the software can pain it ;-) I'd suggest setting it to at least 16ms, but in reality I would probably use 50-100ms and tweak it to look good using flick() method mentioned above

In case you come across this a bit more complete example, including handling of contentY changing because of scroll...: MouseArea {id: selectionMouseArea property alias selectionRect : selectionRect property int initialXPos property int initialYPos property int mouseX property int mouseY anchors.fill: grid acceptedButtons: Qt.LeftButton | Qt.MiddleButton | Qt.RightButton Rectangle {id: selectionRect visible: false x: 0 y: 0 z: 99 width: 0 height: 0 rotation: 0 radius: 5 color: "#5F227CEB" border.width: 1 border.color: "#103A6E" transformOrigin: Item.TopLeft } //selectionRect //moving close to top or bot end scrolls view depending on speed Timer {repeat: true;running: ( parent.mouseY < 0 && grid.contentY>0 ) && parent.pressed && !grid.atYBeginning; interval: 10; onTriggered: grid.contentY -= (-1 * parent.mouseY), returnToBounds() } Timer {repeat: true;running: ( parent.mouseY > grid.height) && parent.pressed && !grid.atYEnd interval: 10; onTriggered: grid.contentY += 1 * ( parent.mouseY -grid.height ), returnToBounds() } //makes the rectangle smooth Connections { target: grid onContentYChanged: //selectionRect needs to be depending onConentY as its size and position depends on that { if (selectionRect.rotation == 0 || selectionRect.rotation == -180) { selectionRect.y = selectionMouseArea.initialYPos - grid.contentY selectionRect.height = Math.abs(selectionMouseArea.mouseY - selectionMouseArea.initialYPos + grid.contentY) selectionRect.width = Math.abs(selectionMouseArea.mouseX - selectionRect.x) } else { selectionRect.y = selectionMouseArea.initialYPos - grid.contentY selectionRect.height = Math.abs(selectionMouseArea.mouseX - selectionRect.x) selectionRect.width = Math.abs(selectionMouseArea.mouseY - selectionRect.y) } } } onClicked: { if(mouse.button == Qt.RightButton) { mouse.accepted=false return; } if ( wasHeld || mouse.modifiers & Qt.ControlModifier ) return; initialXPos=mouse.x; initialYPos=mouse.y;mouseX=mouse.x;mouseY=mouse.y } onPressed: { if(mouse.button == Qt.RightButton) { mouse.accepted=false return; } if (mouse.modifiers & Qt.ControlModifier) { console.log("ControlModifier"); mouse.accepted=false return; } if (mouse.button == Qt.LeftButton) { initialXPos = mouse.x initialYPos = mouse.y+grid.contentY grid.interactive = false selectionRect.x = mouse.x selectionRect.y = mouse.y selectionRect.width = 0 selectionRect.height = 0 } if(itemAt(mouse.x,mouse.y+grid.contentY).hovered) mouse.accepted=false if(itemAt(mouse.x,mouse.y+grid.contentY).hovered===false) { ufm().resetSelection() grid.currentIndex=-1 } } onPositionChanged: { // console.log(selectionRect.height); // console.log(selectionRect.width); if(mouse.button == Qt.RightButton) { mouse.accepted=false return; } if (mouse.modifiers & Qt.ControlModifier) { return; } selectionRect.visible = true if (selectionRect.visible === false) { selectionRect.x = 0 selectionRect.y = 0 selectionRect.width = 0 selectionRect.height = 0 initialXPos = 0 initialYPos = 0 } if (selectionRect.visible === true) { mouseX = mouse.x mouseY = mouse.y if (Math.abs(mouseX, initialXPos)>30) wasHeld = true if (Math.abs(mouseY, initialYPos)>30) wasHeld = true if (mouse.x >= initialXPos) { if (mouse.y+grid.contentY >= initialYPos) selectionRect.rotation = 0 else selectionRect.rotation = -90 } else if (mouse.x <= initialXPos) { if (mouse.y+grid.contentY >= initialYPos) selectionRect.rotation = 90 else selectionRect.rotation = -180 } if (selectionRect.rotation == 0 || selectionRect.rotation == -180) { selectionRect.y = initialYPos - grid.contentY selectionRect.height = Math.abs(mouse.y - initialYPos + grid.contentY) selectionRect.width = Math.abs(mouse.x - selectionRect.x) } else { selectionRect.y = initialYPos - grid.contentY selectionRect.height = Math.abs(mouse.x - selectionRect.x) selectionRect.width = Math.abs(mouse.y - selectionRect.y) } } } onReleased: { selectionRect.visible = false // restore the Flickable duties grid.interactive = true } onWheel: { if (wheel.angleDelta.y > 0 && !grid.atYBeginning) grid.contentY -= 50 else if (wheel.angleDelta.y < 0 && !grid.atYEnd) grid.contentY += 50 } }
