Mouse and Touch Handling - Video

Welcome to the third module of our "Introduction to Qt / QML" series! This module is all about explaining the various ways users interact with your application. Qt Quick comes with many elements that control different kinds of interaction: mouse input, touch input (and gestures), keyboard input.

In this video we will talk about MouseArea, the Qt Quick element that (as the name says) handles mouse input. We will show how to use it in order to make our application react to mouse presses, clicks, and so on.

There are a few lessons to be learned when we start using imperative code in our signal handlers, and why property bindings are a better choice in many cases. If you missed our earlier video about property bindings, take some time and go watch it! You can find it here: • Introduction to Qt / QML (Part 04) - Under...
