\brief The MouseArea item enables simple mouse handling.
\inherits Item

- where the MouseArea effectively 'proxies' mouse handling for that
- item. For example, we can put a MouseArea in a \l Rectangle that changes
+ A MouseArea is an invisible item that is typically used in conjunction with
+ a visible item in order to provide mouse handling for that item.
+ By effectively acting as a proxy, the logic for mouse handling can be
+ contained within a MouseArea item.
+
+ For basic key handling, see the \l{Keys}{Keys attached property}.
+
+ The \l enabled property is used to enable and disable mouse handling for
+ the proxied item. When disabled, the mouse area becomes transparent to
+ mouse events.
+
+ The \l pressed read-only property indicates whether or not the user is
+ holding down a mouse button over the mouse area. This property is often
+ used in bindings between properties in a user interface. The containsMouse
+ read-only property indicates the presence of the mouse cursor over the
+ mouse area but, by default, only when a mouse button is held down; see below
+ for further details.
+
+ Information about the mouse position and button clicks are provided via
+ signals for which event handler properties are defined. The most commonly
+ used involved handling mouse presses and clicks: onClicked, onDoubleClicked,
+ onPressed, onReleased and onPressAndHold.
+
+ By default, MouseArea items only report mouse clicks and not changes to the
+ position of the mouse cursor. Setting the hoverEnabled property ensures that
+ handlers defined for onPositionChanged, onEntered and onExited are used and
+ that the containsMouse property is updated even when no mouse buttons are
+ pressed.
