QEvent::Enter

[incapacitant]

Following your good advice, I set up an event filter that works. I was just wondering whether there is a better way than what I implemented.

For each Widget that I want to react to QEvent::Enter or QEvent::Leave I added :

anyWidget->installEventFilter( this );

anyWidget->installEventFilter( this );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Then as filter :

bool ApplicationWindow::eventFilter(QObject *target, QEvent *event)
{
  if (event->type() == QEvent::Enter) 
    QApplication::setOverrideCursor( QCursor(Qt::PointingHandCursor) );
  if (event->type() == QEvent::Leave )
    QApplication::restoreOverrideCursor();
 
  return QMainWindow::eventFilter(target, event);
}

bool ApplicationWindow::eventFilter(QObject *target, QEvent *event)
{
  if (event->type() == QEvent::Enter) 
    QApplication::setOverrideCursor( QCursor(Qt::PointingHandCursor) );
  if (event->type() == QEvent::Leave )
    QApplication::restoreOverrideCursor();

  return QMainWindow::eventFilter(target, event);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Is this the right way to do it ?
