how to change the order of childwidget drawing in a parent?
Message 1 in thread
hello,
i am writing a little application where one can customize a ui. one
feature is to drag buttons arround in the parent widget. at the moment i
do the button selection and translation by hand in void
mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent*) and void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *) in
a subclass of QPushButton. basically i remember the old button position
and when one selects a button with a click and moves the mouse i
calculate the difference between the new and the previous mouse position
and move the button accordingly.
my problem is now that when i move a button near another button so they
both overlap the one that was created earlier than the other button gets
covered by the "newer" one. but i want the button i am currently moving
to be on top of all the other ones.
so question one: is the way i move my childwidgets in the window ok or
is there any cleaner way to implement it? maybe direct drag and drop
support?
question two: how can i "move up" the selected button so its drawn in
front of all teh others?
best regards
johannes
