Click with the mouse through a label

danga96

hello to the whole community Qt Forum,
I would like to know if there is an option for qLabel that allows me to make it transparent only for the mouse, but in reality it must be seen; That is, this label contains a text, but I need to click below.
I hope I was clear
Thanks in advance :)

Yes, you just need to reimplement the mouse click event and set accepted property to false.

Example for widgets:

void MyLabel::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event) {
  QLabel::mousePressEvent(event);
  event.setAccepted(false);
}

void MyLabel::mouseReleaseEvent(QMouseEvent *event) {
  QLabel::mouseReleaseEvent(event);
  event.setAccepted(false);
}

QML example:

Label {
  MouseArea {
    onClicked: mouse.accepted = false
  }
}

Brain-to-terminal, untested. But might work :-)

Hi,

IIRC, you can set the Qt::WA_TransparentForMouseEvents widget attribute and it should behave the way you'd like.
