QT: QPainter + GDI in the same widget?
- by shoosh
I'm trying to use the method described here to use a QPainter and GDI calls on the same widget.
Unfortunately this tutorial seem to have been written on an earlier version of QT and now it does not work.
I set the WA_PaintOnScreen flag and reimplement paintEngine() to return NULL.
Then on the paintEvent() I create a QPainter, use it and then use some GDI calls to paint a bitmap. The GDI calls work fine but the QPainter does nothing. I get the following error on the console:
QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 1
Is this simply not supported anymore? how can I do it?
I've also tried creating an additional widget on top of the GDI-painting widget but that didn't go well as well since the top widget appears black and blocks the GDI widget.
