Creating a widget on a QGraphicsView

[marcel]

How to make the widget visible?

Since there isn't any layout to manage the widget's position and size, you have to do it manually, with move() or setGeometry().
You should move it in the desired position above the graphics view.

How to force the widget to ignore any focus/mouseOver/mouseMove events?

Disable the widget. It won't receive any mouse or keyboard events.

Hi,

Thanks for advice, but still I do not see my widget. There is 'something transparent" on or under the widget, but I do not see it.

You create the widget with the gv as parent. If you accidentally position this widget outside the bounds of the parent it will get clipped( you won't see it at all ).
So, double check you give the correct coordinates( try (0,0)).

Or, to make sure everything is ok with the widget and it can be seen, create it with a NULL parent and give it some position. It should appear at that position.
