Handle QmouseEvent for rightClickEvent and rightClickEvent+moveEvent seperately
-
Hello,
I want to show a menu on right click and use right mouse move for moving stuff around.
So I've implemented both methods in :
void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event); void mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *event);.However now, when I move around, also the menu opens.
So how can I distinguish between both cases.One option I thought of is using a QTimer to trigger the menu, that gets canceled by the move but is there a better option?
Thanks in advance

Where are you doing all of this? You're just supposed to attach menus to widgets' QContextMenuEvent, QWidget::contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *event), etc.Oh, I think I see what you mean. Start by being more specific about "use right mouse move for moving stuff around.". Presumably you are talking about right mouse down and then drag/move around, else it wouldn't be interfering with the right-click context menu? So the trouble with your intention is that at right-mouse-down you still don't know whether to show a menu or start a drag? I don't think this is a good idea, I can't think of an application which deals with right-mouse-down ambiguously like this? I would try to think of one before you adopt this behaviour.
