Move mouse cursor following pattern

[Doriana]

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any way to move the mouse cursor following a pattern (a line, circle, triangle, parabolic, ...) with QCursor.
Alternatively, if not possible is it possible to use QCursor::setPos with some kind of timer? Going from point A to B in n milisec.

Thanks,
D-

I would say, the only way to achieve this is to set the Cursor position with setPos. You have to define the path / turning points etc by yourself and move in another direction afterwards.

Thank you, my only issue with that is that the move is instantaneous, I'd like to have the control of the speed of the move.

@Doriana

You can control the speed by adding different values to your move command (like a vector) or by increasing the "fire-rate" of your timer.

@Doriana Then don't move the cursor to its end-position, move it in several step from current to end-position. You can use https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/animation.html for that.

@jsulm Thanks, I didn't think about making an animation, I'll try this out.
