[Qt-interest] Acquiring device context in Qt

[Manish Chaturvedi]

Thanks Sean for a quick reply,

QWidget::setCursor() : For this case the mouse curser will assume this shape when it's over this widget, whereas I want to create this cursor on the widget. I agree with your saying that we should not set curser in onPaintEvent() but it does not seems that I have any way to create the curser on the widget.

Thanks,
Manish

No don't do this. In Qt you should only paint on a widget in that widget's 
paintEvent() function so you would be best to overload that in your derived 
widget. However, if all you wish to do is set a custom cursor on that widget 
take a look at the docs for QWidget::setCursor().

HTH,

This should not matter. Qt is cross-platform.
