Select widget via function... ?

Dariusz

Hey

I'd like to create a "action" that would behave like :

I press the button.
Now once I move, widgets highlight/frame outline once mouse hover
Click would return that widget ptr...

Any idea how to bite it ?

Hi,

One way could be to create a transparent widget on top of your UI, make it track the mouse moves and draw a QRubberBand on the widget that's under the mouse cursor. You enable that widget with your button.

Set a stylesheet for the widgets:

QWidget:hover { border: 1px solid red; }

And get the clicked widget's pointers by connecting to QApplication::focusChanged(QWidget *old, QWidget *now).
