[Qt-interest] is it possible to paint outside the QWidget rect?

[Jason H]

No.

But it should not be hard to identify your parent and tell it what you want it to draw. The only problem is that it draws itself first, so your approach needs to not infinitely recurse. I'd queue up drawing commands in an additional painter, the on the parent's draw, draw that as well. Then anytime you modify what your parent is to draw yo have to tell it to redraw, making sure you don't repeat your commands (your commands are already in its queue)

Hi

I have a case when a child widget needs to paint more than the its own
rect (outside its clip area ).
Is there a way to disabled clipping in QWidgets?
In particular my problem is that paintEvent's rect is already clipped to
the parent rect. Can I somehow get the unclipped rect ?
