Qmouseevent problem

[ready]

I read the documentation but couldn't figure out this constructor of QMouseevent
QMouseEvent::QMouseEvent ( Type type, const QPoint & position, Qt::MouseButton button, Qt::MouseButtons buttons, Qt::KeyboardModifiers modifiers );

I want to know what is meant by const QPoint& position in this case and what value should i provide to call the constructor

I read the documentation but couldn't figure out this constructor of QMouseevent
what part of:

The position is the mouse cursor's position relative to the receiving widget.
didn't you understand?

Unless you are overriding some low level Qt stuff, or some similar evil things, you should not have the need to construct your own mouse events - you should get them from the system.

Maybe if you tell us what you want to achieve we can help you in the right direction.

actually I want to get mouse coordinate when I click in the picture that I loaded in my ui application using Qlabel

then you only need to overload the mouse event handler, or install and event filter on the QLabel.
You do NOT need to create the mouse event object.

Which part of documentation is not clear to you ?
In order to install event filter on a QLabel you need to call:


MyClass * filterObject = new MyClass(); // MyClass is a subclass of QObject
...
QLabel * label = new QLabel();
label->installEventFilter(filterObject);

After that you will be able to catch all the events that goes to label object by reimplementing virtual bool eventFilter( QObject * obj, QEvent * ev ) (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qobject.html#eventFilter) in filterObject class:

bool MyClass::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
{
if (obj == label) {
//... test if the event is MousePress and do something with it
} else {
// pass it to the parent class
return QObject::eventFilter(obj, event);
}
}
I've almost copied the example from docs.
