    Question Mouse cursor leaving/entering a widget causes repaint for whole widget

    Hi All,

    I am just wondering is this a Qt design intent to repaint the widget when mouse cursor enters/leaves the widget? Is there any way to just partially repaint the changed area for the widget in this case?

    Thanks

    Are u sure QT paints the whole widget ???
    Just check the QPaintEvent::rect() function...

    In case of enter/leave events probably the whole widget is repainted. But this is a case only if the widget has Qt::WA_Hover attribute set (the style used can override the attribute for any widget it sees fit).

    Thanks for your information Wysota, one more question though, can I just call setAttribute in the widget constructor to make sure this attribute is set to false? I tried that and it seems that Qt is still repainting the widget so just wondering if I missed anything..

    BTW, I turned on QT_FLUSH_PAINT environment variable and that's how I see it's repainting the whole widget.

    Thanks.

    No, you can't. The style may override the hover attribute. You just have to live with it. Or change the style to one that doesn't have hover effects
