Button timer

alecs26

Hello,

I have a button that opens a form when clicked. I would like the button to be pressed if the cursor is over the button for 2 seconds. How could I do this ?

Thank you very much,

Alex

Hi,

You can do that with focusInEvent / focusOutEvent and either a QTimer or timerEvent combo.

Note however that it's going to likely be pretty strange for your users to have a dialog popping up just because they left the cursor on the button.

Hi,

I created a timer but I get a warning in the design tab:
"This type (Timer) is not supported in the Qt Quick Designer (M204).
Any idea ?

    Timer
    {
        id:timer1
        interval:1000
        repeat:false
        running:false
        onTriggered:rectangle11.visible=true
    }

Thank you very much,

What version of Qt Creator are you using ?

There was a solved bug report about it here.

There might have been a regression.
