[SOLVED] QStyledItemDelegate custom mouse cursor for tableWidget item

[bepehr]

hi , i want to set Qt::PointingHandCursor for a item of my tableWidget
my idea is change option.widget cursor but its a const widget and i cant change cursor
is my idea is wrong at all ?

@void sDelegate::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const
{

if ( index.column() == 2 )
{
     //my custom item with underline for text and PointingHandCursor 

    Q_ASSERT(index.isValid());
    QStyleOptionViewItem opt = option;
    initStyleOption(&opt, index);
    const QWidget *widget =option.widget;
    QStyle *style = widget ? widget->style() : QApplication::style();
    opt.font.setUnderline(true);
    style->drawControl(QStyle::CE_ItemViewItem, &opt, painter, widget);
}
else{
QStyledItemDelegate::paint(painter  , option , index);
}

}@

Drawing code is not the suitable place to change the mouse cursor. For that, reimplement editorEvent (from QAbstractItemDelegate). There, you can check if the mouse if over your underlined text, and if so, change the mouse cursor.

i tested that way before but main problem was start editorEvent with click or some other ways like press edit key , but i want to change mouse cursor when mouse move over items , not when user clicked on them

even i tested mouseMoveEvent of QTableWidget but didnt succesfull

You might need to enable mouse tracking for your QTableView and/or the viewport in order to receive mouseMove events.

Compare the rect you paint in with the position of the mouse, of course :-)

You can either somehow cache that information or just calculate on the mouse move. Because all you do is underline all text, you could use something like [[doc:QFontMetrics]] to figure out the size of the text.

QModelIndex index = indexAt(event->pos());
if (index.isValid())

it's really easy bepehr, think, u will find the answer!

Perhaps there are other interesting events to listen for?
Also, your implementation will make the hand cursor appear for all and the whole cell in your column, instead of only when hovering underlined text. Is that really what you want?
