@Narutoblaze Since I recently burned my feathers, I strongly advise you not to try to go against how the automatisms and things in general have been built, especially if it's just because you're used to doing it in a certain way. Use the signals available, use installEventFilter, avoid complications just to look cool, simplify the goals. You'll do the cool stuff in the future, after you get used to it.

@Narutoblaze Please read again what @JonB wrote. Especially what he copied from Qt documentation...

AS @JonB said, Python is a dynamic language, C++ is not. So, you need to make an explicit cast to retreive the type of object you want. If you expect e->source() to return a QTabWidget, you need to do: QTabWidget* tabWidget=qobject_cast<QTabWidget*>(e->source()); if(tabWidget) // is a tab widget ? ( // indeed it is ) else { // is not }

@mrjj Yes, it worked. Thank you!

@BoboFuego said in How to make mouseMoveEvent and keyPressEvent to be called interchangeably?: I don't know how to mark this thread as solved "Topic Tools" at the bottom right side and then "Mark as Solved".

@KillerSmath fix did the work, combined with @mrjj QGroupButton! I added this code to style the pressed button void MainWindow::onGroupButtonClicked(int btn_id) { g_btns->button(btn_id)->setStyleSheet(QString("QPushButton {color: #444444; background: #cccccc; border: 2px solid #cccccc; border-width: 0px 0px 2px 0px;} QPushButton:hover {border: 2px black solid; color: #333333; background-color: #F7F7F7;} QPushButton:pressed {background: #cccccc;}")); } Thanks a lot guys!

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

Hi should that not be pointer ? QRubberBand rubberBand; -> QRubberBand * rubberBand; (since you do rubberBand= new QRubberBand(QRubberBand::Rectangle,this) ) that would explain all 3 errors.

@Stefan-Monov76 Have you found the answer?

I know, quite a bit old. But it took me a long time to find the right solution... Take a look at this: stack overflow : My Qt eventFilter() doesn't stop events as it should It does the trick for me. -JET

@mrjj thx very much and I will try to use winapi way to solve it.

@Ni.Sumi my prolem is that I am using qmouse event to display coordinates on a widget but I want it only when the cursor is on a specific widget . even thought my connect signals is on that widget the function that shows the coordinates is still active outside that widget and it show random usles stuff

Then you should rather use an event filter so you'll only test when there's something currently going on with your button.

Ok, thanks. This solved my problem

Thanks for the welcome! I've posted the question to the interest list. Cheers.

@mrjj Wow, super. That actually solved it. Thank you so much for your response, your time and your help. I really appreciate it. Thanks. Best regards, Anton
