Hi

I have a dock window and it has displayed scroll bar due to more content present into dialog.

What I need is to scroll through content , but it forces me to click somewhere on dialog and then mosue scroll button works.

I have tried to set the focus on the dialog i.e. dock window itself , but no success. What should be done when user do not need to click on dialog and it still allow user to scroll the content through mouse scroll button.

Hi,

AFAIR, that highly depends on your OS. Some do not allow interaction with unfocused window. Which one are you using ?

Maybe you can change the dialog's focus policy to StrongFocus. I also found that the widget still can't recive some mouse wheel event even if it's focus policy is StrongFocus.

Yeah @Gaobo , It did not work with strong focus as well.
@SGaist , I am windows 11.

Why scrolling does not work when window has no focus and focus is set? Is it a bug or a known limitation due to some issue it may cause?

@SarahBeth , What you did then? It was kept as limitation only or has some work around?
