Clearing a QLabel since the mouse position

[high_flyer]

I don't know how simpler this can be said...
Do you know what a focus is?
If you do, then i suggested, that you update the QLabel with the cursor position only if the QLabel with the image has focus...

This was not a simpler answer, but I don't know how to put it simpler then that....

Ok now I know what you want to say But I thought that the focus was only for the keyboard and also I don't know if there's a signal emitted when the image loss the focus because it's when I clear the label.

You could grab mouse input, but that is not a good idea.
Well, then I don't see any better solution then to respond to mouseMoveEvent in the main window that hold the image QLabel.
But its not such a bad solution...

The only problem that I see with this solution is that i test if the cursor is under the image everytime that the cursor moves.

why?
you mean if you move over the QLabel the mouseMoveEvnt of the main widget reacts?
I can't remember if this should be this way (in a way it could make sense if the QLabel is a child of the main windows but even then I doubt it should be like that), but if it is, then you can do the inverse thing, in stead of reacting to the mainWindow mouseMoveEvent you can react to the mouseMoveEvent of the QLabel.
Actually this is the best solution now that I think of it.

The problem with this new solution that you suggest is that there's no way to know when the mouse isn't under the image surface and so the label is not cleared. I know it because is how I have implemented it now
