WaitCursor is ignored

**mpi** · 3rd November 2009, 09:40

Hey,

I want to display a widget as disabled (setEnabled(false)) with its cursor set to Qt::WaitCursor. Disabling the widget, however, always display the widget with a normal Qt::ArrowCursor. How do I obtain a disabled widget with a Qt::WaitCursor. Code that reproduces the problem is shown below.

Best regards,

Mads

Qt Code:

Switch view

#include <QWidget>
#include <QApplication>
#include <QCursor>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
 
    QWidget *widget = new QWidget;
    widget->show();
 
    QCursor cursor(Qt::WaitCursor);
    widget->setCursor(cursor);
    widget->setDisabled(true);
 
    return app.exec();
}

#include <QWidget>
#include <QApplication>
#include <QCursor>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    QWidget *widget = new QWidget;
    widget->show();

    QCursor cursor(Qt::WaitCursor);
    widget->setCursor(cursor);
    widget->setDisabled(true);
    
    return app.exec();
}

the code you posted works perfectly for me, I get the wait cursor over the widget, if I comment out the wait cursor in your code the cursor gets to be the normal arrow.
