'morning,

I have a custom QWidget, myWid, that pops up when the user mouses over a QPushButton. The QWidget pops-up adjacent to (slightly overlapping) this pushButton. I want myWid to remain shown (popped up) as long as the mouse is over either the QPushButton *or* myWid. My eventFilter looks like this:

Qt Code: 
  1. bool Window::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
  2. {
  3.   if(event->type() == QEvent::Enter)
  4.   {
  5.     if(obj == myPB)
  6.     {
  7.       myWid->show();
  8.       return QWidget::eventFilter(obj, event);
  9.     }
  10.     return QWidget::eventFilter(obj, event);
  11.  
  12.   else if(event->type() == QEvent::Leave)
  13.   {
  14.     if(obj == myPB)
  15.     {
  16.       if(!myWid->underMouse())
  17.       {
  18.         myWid->hide();
  19.         return QWidget::eventFilter(obj, event);
  20.       }
  21.       return QWidget::eventFilter(obj, event);
  22.     }
  23.     return QWidget::eventFilter(obj, event);
  24.   }
  25.   return QWidget::eventFilter(obj, event);
  26. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

the "hide()" above is conditional: if the mouse is over myWid, do not hide() it when Leave myPB. This doesn't work: the panel flickers on/off rapidly or closes when I mouse over it. I understand why this is happening, but I can't figure out an alternative. Suggestions?
