QT : leaveEvent - Checking if the cursor is in region of a widget?

Question

I currently have a class that inherits from QLabel this class implements the methods mouseMoveEvent and leaveEvent. When the mouse is over this widget a dialog box is displayed. However the dialog box only disappears if a mouse click occurs elsewhere. I want the dialog box to disappear when the mouse moves out of the reqion of this widget. I therefore thought about using the leaveEvent method which would call dialog.hide(). My question is how can I determine if the mouse cursor is in the region of a widget ?

You can get widget under cursor and compare it with your widget. — Dmitry Sazonov, Jun 25 '14 at 21:14

Have a look at Qt - Determine absolute widget and cursor position. Two ways are explained there.. using coordinates and using QWidget::underMouse().
