Simulate Mouse Move Events Accurately?

[pta0007]

Hi,

I am trying to simulate the mouse click-move-release events without actually touch the mouse on a drawing application. What I did is

QMouseEvent event_click(QEvent::MouseButtonPress, old_pos, Qt::LeftButton, Qt::LeftButton, Qt::NoModifier);

QApplication::sendEvent(label, &event_click);

QMouseEvent event_move(QEvent::MouseMove, new_pos, Qt::NoButton, Qt::LeftButton, Qt::NoModifier);	

QApplication::sendEvent(label, &event_move);

I find that it's easy to make the click and move events happen with a timer. However, the mouse move event took place instantly. I couldn't see the process while the mouse was moving. How could I simulate the mouse move event more accurately, just like I drag a mouse when clicked. I would like to make the mouse move by itself at different speed and in different path. I hope I've made myself clear enough.

Thank you.

You'll have to animate it.

Yes, that's what I would like to ask about. You have any idea or good sources on how to do the animation? Cheers.

One of the QAbstractAnimation subclasses, I would guess. Subclassing QVariantAnimation would seem to be the best choice, offhand.
