Hidden mouse cursor reappears when a QMenu is displayed

[cristeab]

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?

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

pagePopupMenu_ = new QMenu(this);
    pagePopupMenu_->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::ToolTipText);
    pagePopupMenu_->addAction("");
    pagePopupMenu_->setEnabled(false);

pagePopupMenu_ = new QMenu(this);
    pagePopupMenu_->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::ToolTipText);
    pagePopupMenu_->addAction("");
    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)

setCursor(Qt::BlankCursor);

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().
