How to change the cursor shape

[webberg]

Hello,
I extend a class from QQuickPaintedItem and implement virtual function paint. Then I want to change mouse cursor to Qt::IBeamCursor when mouse move into text area where I draw. I wrote the following function to reply mouse move event:

Q_INVOKABLE void MyView::mouseMove(int x, int y)
{
    if(IsInTextArea() && cursor().shape()!=Qt::IBeamCursor){
        cursor().setShape(Qt::IBeamCursor);
        return;
    }
    if(!IsInTextArea() && cursor().shape()!= Qt::ArrowCursor){
        cursor().setShape(Qt::ArrowCursor);
        return;
    }
}

I detect it has called cursor().setShape(Qt::IBeamCursor); but nothing changed. So what's wrong with my code? thank you.

You should rather use QWidget::setCursor() than cursor().setShape():

Q_INVOKABLE void MyView::mouseMove(int x, int y)
{
    if(IsInTextArea() && cursor().shape()!=Qt::IBeamCursor){
        this->setCursor(Qt::IBeamCursor);
        return;
    }
    if(!IsInTextArea() && cursor().shape()!= Qt::ArrowCursor){
        this->setCursor(Qt::ArrowCursor);
        return;
    }
}

@raven-worx Thanks! I found I use MouseArea in my view. I changed the cursor of my view. But in fact, I should change the cursor shape of MouseArea in QML.
