check Hover in pool of rectangles

[p3c0]

@Anas-A.-Ismail You can add MouseArea inside each Rectangle and set hoverEnabled property to true the when mouse is hovered over these rectangle onEntered event handler is triggerred. You can invoke a popup from there.

@p3c0 I'm drawing the rectangles dynamically at runtime, so when I hover on one of them, the action accepted from the last created rectangle.

@Anas-A.-Ismail Do you mean you are drawing rectangles with Canvas API's ?

[Anas A. Ismail]

@p3c0 I'm drawing rectangles using Mouse (Drag/Drop) on a Canvas, So I have multiple rectangles on the same Canvas which created dynamically on run time using createObject method, I need to deal with each rectangle separately, like this image here

@Anas-A.-Ismail Trying to understand. Did you create Rectangle's using createObject ? In that case you can put MouseArea inside it as said earlier.

[Anas A. Ismail]

@p3c0 Yes I did that, but hover property applied only on the last created Rectangle, and when I hover on it the wanted action applied on all rectangles like this image, I want to apply this action on each rectangle separately without affecting the others.

Thanks.

@Anas-A.-Ismail That's strange. Each Rectangle will have its own MouseArea and which will generate hover events for that particular Item only. Can you post the relevant code ?

@Anas-A.-Ismail According to your code property Rectangle boundingBox will always point to the last created or the latest created Item.

@p3c0 Thank You, your answers were really helpful, it's solved.
