Why not use a MouseArea or the new HoverHandler. Anyway, fill the root item with a mouseare or you can use the Item function: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-item.html#mapToGlobal-method to convert local mouse coordinate to global coordintate (reverse from is also available).
You can wrap this into a component that you instanciate into you root item, this will act like a optional addon and no need to subclass.

I'm not sure missing whatever is left in QQuickWindowQmlImpl<https://github.com/qt/qtdeclarative/blob/5.12/src/quick/items/qquickwindowmodule_p.h> is going to wind up giving me problems later. Subclassing that means including private headers etc. so I'm not to keen on going that route. /René On Thu, 21 Mar 2019 at 12:50 René Hansen <ren...@gmail.com<mailto:ren...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi all, I want to track mouse movement within my entire application window, because I need to show/hide/move items around where my cursor is at certain times. (Think e.g. custom cursor) I can do it easily by filling the entire window with a MouseArea and handle onPositionChanged. The problem is that any mouse sensitive inputs underneath, then get's blocked by the overlaying MouseArea. E.g. a TextField that is usually highlighted on hover and clickable, no longer receives any mouse events. Is there any straightforward solution to this? I know QQuickWindow has a mouseMoveEvent, but that doesn't seem to be exposed in QML and if I can avoid subclassing and exposing a custom class, I'd rather do that. Cheers, René Hansen
