QEvent to QEnterEvent

Roberrt

I'm trying to update an old Qt project I was getting an error in this line:

protected:
    void enterEvent(QEnterEvent *event) override;

error: Non-virtual member function marked 'override' hides virtual member function

I modified it to:

protected:
    void enterEvent(QEnterEvent *event) override;

Solved the error, but now I'm getting an error in this line:

InteractiveButtonBase::enterEvent(new QEvent(QEvent::Type::None));

C2664: 'void InteractiveButtonBase::enterEvent(QEnterEvent *)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'QEvent *' to 'QEnterEvent *'
error C2664: 'void InteractiveButtonBase::enterEvent(QEnterEvent *)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'QEvent *' to 'QEnterEvent *'
note: Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
note: see declaration of 'InteractiveButtonBase::enterEvent'

I'm not sure how to fix it, could i get any help?

@Roberrt said in QEvent to QEnterEvent:

void enterEvent(QEnterEvent *event) override;
error: Non-virtual member function marked 'override' hides virtual member function
I modified it to:
protected:
void enterEvent(QEnterEvent *event) override;

What did you change? It's both the same

InteractiveButtonBase::enterEvent(new QEvent(QEvent::Type::None));

You must not generate such events by yourself - they're created by Qt.
If your function needs QEnterEvent you should create an QEnterEvent and not a QEvent.
