@timob256 I'm not sure whether you want to animate the mouse cursor movement, if that is what you want then take a look at https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/animation-overview.html

Okay, got it: Relevant code resides in QApplication and cannot be changed by subclassing QWidget. There’s no way around Qt::FocusPolicy but there is the possibility to add other attributes.

Thanks a lot!

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 !
