[Qt-interest] [Fwd: Creating a Border to Desktop]

[Rahulkumar Tibdewal]

I have create a full screen widget with required feature except, I am not able to draw border around it.
Is there anything special you did to draw border around it?

If you have drawn one can you share some piece of code for it?

Thanks
Rahul

Hi Rahul,

     We are setting the attribute TransparentForMousEvents precisely for that reason only. You can access your desktop and open any folder or do anything you like.

I have implemented this and it does work. Let me know if you face any issues.

Hi Raja,



Will your suggestions enable me to access my desktop, when widget in on?



Thanks

create a QWidget and get screen geometry using QDesktopWidget.

Set this flags:

setAttribute(Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground);

setAttribute(Qt::WA_TransparentForMouseEvents);
and if you want to draw a border jus override the paint events and create a QPainter object in it and just paint the border.

Take a look to QWidget::setMask to create a widget with "holes" and QDesktopWidget to get desktop geometry.


Hello All,

I am creating a widget which has following requirements.

1. Widget covers an entire screen. Like full screen.

2. Thick blue border.

3. Widget is such that I can see UI in the background. .i.e. I can see my desktop.

To summarize this, it's like putting a border on your desktop. One can also consider it as creating a Frame for a desktop.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Rahul
