Change cursor inside QTableview

[big4mil]

Hi All,

I would like to change the mouse cursor when I move the mouse pointer inside my QTableView over a row.

I've tried this:

void QTableView::mouseMoveEvent( QMouseEvent *pEvent )
{
    int iRow = this->rowAt( pEvent->y() );
    if( iRow == -1 )
    {
        this->setCursor( QCursor( Qt::ArrowCursor ));
    }
    else
    {
        this->setCursor( QCursor( Qt::PointingHandCursor ));
    }
}

void QTableView::mouseMoveEvent( QMouseEvent *pEvent )
{
    int iRow = this->rowAt( pEvent->y() );
    if( iRow == -1 )
    {
        this->setCursor( QCursor( Qt::ArrowCursor ));
    }
    else
    {
        this->setCursor( QCursor( Qt::PointingHandCursor ));
    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But this unfortunately this does not work. The mouse cursor is not changing. What do I wrong? Any ideas?

Many thanks and best regards

Just a guess:
maybe rowAt() uses local Widget coordinates, but the event is giving global.
Try to map to widget coordinates and see if it helps.

Hi high_flyer,

with pEvent->y() I'm mapping to the local widget coordinates (pEvent->globalY() is the one which mapps global). Also when I move over a row inside my QTableView I can see (with qDebug()-output) that this function call works fine. But the cursor is not changing.

Any ohter ideas or suggestions?

Best regards

Hmm...
Try first with out specifying a row.
See if at all you get the cursor to change over the widget.

a mouseMoveEvent is only generated, if you press a button. If you want to generate the event always, you have to enable mouse tracking for the widget
