title: Animated GUI with Qt and mouse hover on QGraphicsTextItem
body: <p>I'm trying to make my own animated GUI with the help of Qt 4.8 on Windows. At the beginning i used the widgets and the Qt Designer to place a horizontal/grid/etc layout and put inside the normal widgets but I found that making them move with the animations framework is not really easy. So I switched to QGraphicsScene/QGraphicsView that seems much simpler to use with animations. I would make a simple menu where there are the main items that when hovered makes visible the submenu items. Something simple, thing about a dropdown horizontal menu. I placed the QGraphicsTextItem items but I still don't understand how could I connect the hover event of the main items to display the submenu items. Any idea? At the moment I have a QMainWindow with a QGraphicsView widget that takes all the area.</p>
