    Default Hidden mouse cursor reappears when a QMenu is displayed

    Hi
    I have hidden the mouse cursor when my application enters in full screen mode. In this mode the user is able to display a context menu implemented with QMenu and displayed synchronously with QMenu::exec. However, when the menu is shown the mouse cursor reappears, which I found annoying. Is there a way to keep the mouse cursor hidden even when the menu is displayed ?

    regards
    Bogdan

    How did you implement that?
    Does you QMenu object have a parent?

    Do you write clean code? - if you are TDD'ing then maybe, if not, your not writing clean code.

    Yes, my QMenu object has as parent the main window (in its constructor):

    Qt Code:
    1. pagePopupMenu_ = new QMenu(this);
    2. pagePopupMenu_->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::ToolTipText);
    3. pagePopupMenu_->addAction("");
    4. pagePopupMenu_->setEnabled(false);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Then, the mouse is hidden with (in another method of the main window)

    Qt Code:
    1. setCursor(Qt::BlankCursor);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    Hmm... this should work.
    However, in a hidden cursor, you probably want it hidden in general (at that time) you you might try this:
    QApplication::setOverrideCursor().
