Cursor monitoring object

[ShinSat]

Hi Gurus,

A quick question.
Is it possible to create an object, which monitors the cursor on the system (eg.Windows platform) and fires mouseMoveEvent(this can be a signal) when needed?
Should it be a QWidget, which can be invisible and track global position of the cursor?
Please help as I'm not familiar with this kind of implementation. :<

Thanks in advance for your update.

@ShinSat
Excuse me if I don't understand/am mistaken, but once you have a Qt application running mouseMoveEvent signals are fired (by Qt infrastructure) when the mouse is moved, so what do you mean about "monitoring and firing"?

Thanks for an update and sorry for vague explanation.

Let me explain further.
Please forget about my previous explanation.

I want to create Drag&Drop capability between widgets where each widget is on different QMainWindow.
When I create a QDrag object and execute it as MoveAction, mouseMoveEvent is NOT fired and it results in that I can't move the source widget.
Is there any way to get mouseMoveEvent while QDrag MoveAction opareted?

@ShinSat not possible with Qt alone. You'll need platform specific functions and libaries. for Windows you can take a look at this entry.
