Pass mouseEvent to sibling widget?

[wysota]

Two options:
1. Reimplement mouse events for A and resend the event to B instead of ignoring it in A
2. Install an event filter on A to forward events to B, there check if the event is in the transparent area and handle it there and then return true so that A doesn't get the event.

thank you guruji for your reply..

both the options you suggested are same as the some i was thinking of...

i am thinking that in the mouseEvents handlers of "P" i check wether the pos() of click comes in geometry of "B", then manually postEvent() a new mouseEvent to "B"...

so in all the three cases i have to postEvent() a new mouseEvent to "B"... ... so now as i got the confirmation of the guru.. i will go with it... ...

sendEvent(), not postEvent().

[nish]

postEvent()

Adds the event event, with the object receiver as the receiver of the event, to an event queue and returns immediately.

hmm... looking at the documentation.. i would prefer postevent so that it does not block anything... why you suggested sendEvent()? any specific reason that i may be ignoring?

[wysota]

It won't block anything. I suggest sendEvent because you can reuse the same object you got from Qt instead of creating a copy of a specific QEvent subclass (which might be hard in itself). And someone might assume when the event to B is delivered, it will be handled, not that it will be handled later.
