    You can use an event filter to filter them out.

    i tried that. i have my own label classes. and im drawing graphs on that labels.

    when mouse enter and leave events happens on those labels, paint event still being called. but i want the paint event to be called only with my signal.

    in constructor:
    emi_label->installEventFilter(this);
    gpr_label->installEventFilter(this);
    Qt Code:
    1. bool mainWidget::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
    2. {
    3. if(event->type() == QEvent::Enter || event->type() == QEvent::Leave){
    4. if(obj == this){
    5. qDebug("warning: main event");
    6. }
    7. if(obj == emi_label){
    8. qDebug("warning: emi event");
    9. }
    10. if(obj == gpr_label){
    11. qDebug("warning: gpr event");
    12. }
    13. }
    14. return false;
    15. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    event catches are right as far as i can see. i see expected warnings on terminal
    Qt Code:
    1. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    2. void gprLabel::update_gui(){
    3.  
    4. if(is_gpr_data_ready){
    5. for(int i=101;i<=228;i++){
    6. gpr_matrix[gpr_matrix_index][i-101] = rand()%256;
    7. }
    8. gpr_matrix_index++;
    9. is_gpr_data_ready = 0;
    10. }
    11.  
    12. if(gpr_matrix_index == vWIDTH ){
    13. gpr_matrix_index = 0;
    14. is_ready_to_draw = 1;
    15. update();
    16. }
    17. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    as u see i want gpr_label to be updated only with my call. how can do that

    Assistant:
    if you want to filter the event out, i.e. stop it being handled further, return true;
    bool mainWidget::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
    {
    if(event->type() == QEvent::Enter || event->type() == QEvent::Leave)
    {

    if(obj == this)
    {
    qDebug("warning: main event");
    }
    if(obj == emi_label)
    {
    qDebug("warning: emi event");
    return true;
    }
    if(obj == gpr_label)
    {
    qDebug("warning: gpr event");
    return true;
    }
    }
    return QMainWindow::eventFilter(obj, event);
    }

    when i do that, my labels become invisiable. i dont see any of them.

    also im getting error if i use QMainWindow::eventFilter(). "cannot call member function without object..."

    Is your mainwidget derived from QMainWindow ??
    Also why do u want to call other eventfilter from ur filter ?
    just return true or false

    i was referring to the code above my last post.

    the important thing now is if i return true my labels become invisible.

    I guess I am missing something in understanding ur problem...
    u want to paint only when ur signal is emitted, right ? You can hold a variable and update it on the signal emitted. Use this variable in paint event.
    May be i am wrong in understanding..

    can u tell me if i am getting ur prob right.. cud u please explain a bit more of what u actually wanna do ?
