mouseEvent in QScrollArea giving wrong position ?

[wysota]

Although the mapFromParent solution makes no sense to me ...

"From parent" would imply that .. the position in e->pos() is in parent
coordinates which was what I was finding to be true. ( ie. the y coordinate was
relative to the parent window not the scroll area) BUT .. the event handler
is part of my QScrollArea .. not my parent window, so why wasn't
e->pos() passed as the correct position in the first place ?

"the parent" is probably the QScrollArea widget (the widget which handles the event), and you want its viewport, thus you have to map from the scroll area widget to its "canvas" coordinates. That's exactly the same what my solution does (seems that Trolls use the scrollbar version in their examples, at least the one I've seen -- namely the pie view example).

And Wysota thanks for the reminder about contextMenuEvent . I guess I assumed it wouldn't be available ...

Just remember that context menus can be handled in three different ways in Qt4. Choose the one which suits you best.
