Button hovering

Ducky

HI all,

I was following "Video tutorial ":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0CDMtfefB4 on "Qt mouce events on a qlabel".
It was great when i hovered over one label the color changed on another label.

and that got me thinking if i can do the same with a button and yes i can.

Thar are Tree things i don't like about this approach.

it take a lot of code to handle the mouse events this is not very handy if you got a lot of buttons.(like me)
it destroy all the default click events.
you need a extra label to change the color of.

so is their a better way of handling a button hover.

for example.

there is a default Click

@void Dialog::on_pushButton_clicked()@

is there also a default Hover like below.

@void Dialog::on_pushButton_hover()@

Or is there some other way of detecting a hover on a button.

Thanx in advanced for the info.

There are virtual protected functions:
void QWidget::enterEvent ( QEvent * event )
void QWidget::leaveEvent ( QEvent * event )
you can use

ideed that wil work.
i still have to put in a lot of code but it keeps the default mouse click events.

I am stil finding it a little disappointing that is not included as a default event for a button

but yes i will get is to work.

Thanx msue
