QAbstractScrollArea scrolled rect
-
I am trying to write a custom widget that inherits from QAbstractScrollArea. On scroll I would like to be able to only paint into the QRect that becomes newly visible after a scroll. However in the paintEvent function QPaintEvent.rect returns the entire viewport area rather than returning the newly visible area.
In short I am trying to do the following
a) In scrollContentsBy I would like to just shift the viewport widgets contends by dx, dy so that I dont have to paint the whole viewport again.
b) In paintEvent then I would like to just paint into the visible invalid rect that got created because of the scroll.Any pointers on how to achieve this?
