How to move window using custom titleBar in Qt

Question

I'm beginner in Qt and I want to drag and move Window using my own custom titleBar(QLabel).

The Qt code:

void MainWindow::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
    mpos = event->pos();
}

void MainWindow::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
    if (event->buttons() & Qt::LeftButton) 
    {
        QPoint diff = event->pos() - mpos;
        QPoint newpos = this->pos() + diff;
        this->move(newpos);
    }
}

This code allow me to move window by mouse pressed on any QWidget but I want to move window by mouse pressed on QLabel.

I suggest you to use eventFilter to get event MousePress and MouseRelease:

void MainApp::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
    current = event->pos();
}

void MainApp::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
    if(pressed)
        this->move(mapToParent(event->pos() - current));
}

bool MainApp::eventFilter(QObject *object, QEvent *event)
{
    if (object == ui->label && event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonPress)
    {
        pressed = true;
        return true;
    }
    if (object == ui->label && event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonRelease)
    {
        pressed = false;
        return true;
    }
    else
        return false;
}
