[Qt-qml] Overlapping MouseAreas / big cursor for recording video

[Cornelius Hald]

Hi,

I just finished writing the question below when I found out a working
solution for me, so I thought I share it. Maybe someone has the same
problem...

I've got it working by changing the top-most MouseArea that I'm using
for the cursor to look like this:

MouseArea {
    anchors.fill: parent
    hoverEnabled: true
    acceptedButtons: Qt.RightButton
    onMousePositionChanged: {
        cursor.x = mouse.x;
        cursor.y = mouse.y;
    }
}

Now this MouseArea is only listening to right-clicks and will pass
through the left-clicks to the underlying items.

Cheers,
Conny

Hi,

is it possible to have overlapping MouseAreas and make them both receive
mouse events?

My concrete problem is, that I wanted to record a short demo of my QML
application with a big semi-transparent touch-style cursor. Therefore
I've added a MouseArea to the main QML file that listens to position
changed events and moves the cursor image accordingly. But if I do it
like this, I can´t click anything anymore because all clicks are
intercepted by this MouseArea.
