If you want a popup, then why don't you use Qt::Popup window flag with a regular widget?

I would try QWidget::grabMouse.

Using QWidget::grabMouse, It doesnt works because then no other widget except the PopUp receive mouseEvent. If you have another dialogs o widgets showed, they not receive mouseEvents.

Finally I have implemented it installing even widget to all widget ins the PopUp.

Thanks to all for your help,
