Inconsistent grabbing APIs between QWidget and QWindow

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      void QWidget::grabMouse()
void QWidget::releaseMouse()
void QWidget::grabKeyboard()
void QWidget::releaseKeyboard()

      bool QWindow::setMouseGrabEnabled(bool grab)
bool QWindow::setKeyboardGrabEnabled(bool grab)

      Having two different APIs for doing the same thing is not very natural for API users, but what I find even more strange is why does return value does not matter when grabbing with widgets API?
