Simulate QMenu behavior

Hi,

I'm trying to create a popup widget that behaves exactly like a QMenu but without the items. By that, I mean the following properties:

• Looks like a menu, but without the items. I guess I could use style()->drawPrimitive() to get the menu frame appearance.
• Be the top-most widget.
• When clicking outside the widget, the popup widget disappears, but does not "click through" (not pass the event to the widget under the cursor).

The biggest difference with a normal menu would be that my popup widget does not contain menu items, but other things.

Anyone know how to accomplish this?

Calling grabMouse () in showEvent() and releaseMouse () in hideEvent() or closeEvent() should do the trick of preventing other widgets form getting mouseEvents. As for the look try Qt::FramelessWindowHint window flag.
Staying on top is as easily achieved by seting the Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint window flag.

Theres also some flag - invisibletomouseevents in QWidget class,,,
not flag, rather attribute I guess... u can search for it in Qt Assistant..
May be it might help you
