Having a "pass-through" MouseArea on a WebEngineView
Unsolved
QML and Qt Quick
-
I need to track whether the user has recently moved the mouse in my app. This app contains a WebEngineView. I currently have this code in the middle of my app; I've added imports to make it a complete program:
import QtQuick 2.12 import QtWebEngine 1.8 WebEngineView { url: "https://example.com" MouseArea { anchors.fill: parent z: parent.z + 1 hoverEnabled: true propagateComposedEvents: true onPositionChanged: { mouse.accepted = false logoutTimer.restart() } onPressed: { mouse.accepted = false logoutTimer.restart() } onReleased: { mouse.accepted = false logoutTimer.restart() } onHoveredChanged: { mouse.accepted = false logoutTimer.restart() } } }
Unfortunately, this only propogates click events to the WebEngineView, which removes any possibility of hover effects or changing the cursor to a pointing-hand-link-style cursor. I understand that hover events aren't affected by changing
mouse.accepted
.I'm on Qt 5.15.2 on openSUSE Tumbleweed.
