mouseMoveEvent & QFileDialog

Hi,
I have a button that call "QFileDialog::getOpenFileName". I choose a file
from list and dialog closed. Below there is a function:

Source code

 
1
2
3
4

mywidget::mouseMoveEvent() {
     cout << "mouseMove"
     .........
}

I see that this function is automatically called after I closed QfileDialog and
the code inside the mouseMoveEvent() is execute.
Do you understand? It's a strange thing....

If I understand right, you are calling QFileDialog::getOpenFileName in mywidget.
If this is so, then mouseMoveEvent() has nothing to do with the fact you opened/closed the dialog, other then when you closed the dialog, the mouse got back to mywidget, which then generated a mouseMoveEvent.
If you then contenue to move the mouse over mywidget mouseMoveEvent() will contenue to be called and actually,also before you call QFileDialog::getOpenFileName.

It is probably because when you clicked on the button, you also moved your mouse, which generated the move event which was handled after the "clicked()" signal emitted from within mousePressEvent handler. The clicked() signal is probably connected to a slot which opens a modal dialog causing events from parent window to not being handled during life of the modal dialog. When the dialog is closed, the flow returns to the main event queue, causing the next event (which is the move event) to be handled. Of course this is theory :) You can try applying an event filter to the button and handling mouseMove there (which will prevent it from being forwarded to the parent of the button).

RE: mouseMoveEvent & QFileDialog

As I said -- apply an event filter on the push button and filter its mouseMoveEvents there (note that this way you won't be able to receive any move events that occur over the button, unless you do it in a smart way).

mouseMoveEvent & QFileDialog

Ok,
but I have a button of MainForm that call a function MainForm::load().
Within this function I call QFiledialog::open....But I think that I must
install an eventFilter on QFileDialog?? But don't work (eventFilter is not
called). If I install a filter on button that calls load(), the button is blocked.
I see that when I open fileDialog, mouseMovevent is called
only when I choose a file with double click on it and not when I click on
file and press open button of OpenDialog.

No. Install an event filter on the button so that its mouse move event is not forwarded to its parent.

But don't work (eventFilter is not
called).

It depends what you did.

Do you actually handle some of the events there and pass the rest?

I see that when I open fileDialog, mouseMovevent is called
only when I choose a file with double click on it and not when I click on
file and press open button of OpenDialog.

So take a debugger and see why it happens.

mouseMoveEvent & QFileDialog

I insert in mainForm::init()

Source code

 
1
2

//mainForm.ui.h
this->load->installEventFilter(this->myWidget1);

and

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

//MyWidget.cpp
bool MyWidget::eventFilter(QObject* obj, QEvent* e) {
	if ( e->type() == QEvent::MouseMove) {
		  cout << "mo";
		  return  true;
	  } 
	else {
		cout << "false\n";
		return false;
	}

So eventFilter is called when I pass with mouse on button "load" and
return false.
if I click on button choose with doubleClick the file, the mouseMoveEvent
start again....

Check at which position does the move occur. BTW. Why do you want to eliminate this mouse move?

mouseMoveEvent & QFileDialog

when I click on 'load' button appear a openFileDialog where I choose
a file. If I choose a file with doubleClick (and behind the mouse there is myWidgetGL), mouseMoveEvent of myWidgetGl start. I'd like mouseMoveEvent called for other aim. But if change position in the screen of openFileDialog (not be in front of myWidget) and my doubleClick is out of myWidget, mouseMoveEvent don't start. I don't know what I can do....
Thanks

RE: mouseMoveEvent & QFileDialog

So why don't you block the event while the other dialog is active? Before opening the file dialog, notify glwidget to ignore mousemoves somehow (you have to implement this! for example by applying an event filter which denies all mousemove events sent to the object), then process the dialog, and afterwards reenable mousemove processing (for example by removing the event filter).

eventFilters

ok.But wich object? button load? openFileDialog? instance of glWidget?
I isntall this inside the function of mainForm that is called by 'load' button:

Source code

 
1

this->loadTexture->installEventFilter(this->myWidget1);

After this is called:

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5

bool MyWidget::eventFilter(QObject* obj, QEvent* e)  {
      if (( e->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick) && (e->type() ==     
           QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick) && (e->type() == QEvent::
           MouseButtonRelease)) 
}

but I don't understand obj what is! 'load' button isn't a QObject...
e->type isn't any QEvent I code above
Thanks.

Every widget is also a QObject, because QWidget inherits QObject class.

Source code

 
1
2
3
4

if (( e->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick) && (e->type() ==     
           QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick) && (e->type() == QEvent::
           MouseButtonRelease)) 
}
What you wrote here means: if e type is equal to QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick and it's equal to QEvent::MouseButtonRelease then do something.

This will never happen since QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick != QEvent::MouseButtonRelease.

RE: EventFilters

Yes. All double clicks which are passed to the filter. Please note that you should check for particular object, as there may be other objects using the filter too.

From which object did you invoke the installEventFilter() method?
