Frameless window dragging issue

[thehilmisu]

Hi everyone,
I am developing an qt gui application and i have set the window flag to @Qt::FramelessWİndowHint@ and i have set the mainwindow stylesheet as i wanted. But i cannot move the window without the window frames.

Is there any way to solve it ?

Thanks in advance,

Add to window .h file:

private:
    void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event);
    void mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *event);
    int m_nMouseClick_X_Coordinate;
    int m_nMouseClick_Y_Coordinate;

And this to .cpp file:

void MainWindow::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event) {
    m_nMouseClick_X_Coordinate = event->x();
    m_nMouseClick_Y_Coordinate = event->y();
}

void MainWindow::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *event) {
    move(event->globalX()-m_nMouseClick_X_Coordinate,event->globalY()-m_nMouseClick_Y_Coordinate);
}

This is quick answer. Code may grow up if you have resizing elements or problems with dragging when mouse pressed on window child elements.

I've not done this, but I can only imagine that you would have to provide your own code to move the window. As it is, a frameless window has no UI component with which the user can imagine that the window can be moved.

Or is that not what you meant ?

Of course you need to add code for handling mouse events.
I think it is good idea to make something like title bar for moving the window.
