How to move the mouse ?

Hi there,

I want to manipulate the current mouse pointer position and wonder, how this would be done. The QTestLib framework module provides this functionality with QTest::mouseMove but this is no unit test. And without unit tests I don't want to use the QTest module (e.g. this needs the CONFIG variable to be extended by "qtestlib" in the *.pro file).

Maybe someone knows a better solution using the QtCore module? Searching the API I did not find any similar to QTest::mouseMove.

Greets.

Hello!

Did you try this method?

Code:

---

void QCursor::setPos ( int x, int y )   [static]

---

No, I did not. But yes, this will work. The only pitfall is that the set cursor position will be interpreted as a global point. But it should be possible to map from widget coordinates to global ones.

Thanks.

You're welcome!

Yes, it will be possible with QWidget::map* methods
