Force Mouse/Cursor to move only Horizontally or Vertically

[Devower]

I'm trying to figure out a way to make the mouse/cursor be restricted to either moving only vertically or horizontally (along either the y or x axis). I understand that there is the QCursor::setPos that can give it a location, but I haven't been able to figure out how (if possible) to only move along one axis. My end goal is to be able to move the cursor in a perfectly straight horizontal or vertical fashion. I am handling this logic in a mouseMoveEvent so that when the shift button is held down, it forces this behavior.

Thank you.

Hi,
You can get mouse position using mouseevent method. Example, if you want to move your mouse cursor along X axis, save your Y mouse position (YPOS)
So, when you change your mouse position, change your cursor position Y by YPOS. Same method if you want to move your mouse by Y axis.
