Painting program

[g123sk]

Hi all

I am new to Qt programming. I am trying to program a drawing program like MS paint. I have a list of toolbutton with basic shapes. when I click them, I will create a symbol for that shape. I would like to know how to attach that symbol to the mouse and make it move with the mouse until the user clicks on the canvas?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions

Hi,

You have a QCursor class, that allows to create your own cursors, and override the default ones.

You'll just have to implement your own, and set a pixmap on it ;-)

To override default cursor, call these methods...

QApplication::setOverrideCursor( const QCursor& );
QApplication::restoreOverrideCursor();

QApplication::setOverrideCursor( const QCursor& );
QApplication::restoreOverrideCursor();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

More information here:

Thanks a lot. I will use that.
