QT Version: 4.4.1
OS: RHEL 5

I am attempting to create a console application that uses QLocalServer/QLocalSocket for interprocess communication.

In the program, I stay in the event loop waiting for connections.

If the user presses a key, I want to exit the program.

I have remplemented the eventFilter method and added a installEventFilter(this) call to the constructor of the SNOOPER class:

Qt Code: 
  1. class SNOOPER: public QObject
  2. {
  3.     Q_OBJECT
  4.  
  5.     public:
  6.         SNOOPER(QString sIP);                // Constructor
  7.         ~SNOOPER();                            // Destructor
  8. ...        
  9.  
  10.         bool eventFilter( QObject *o, QEvent *e );
  11.  
  12.     public slots:
  13.         void connectClient();
  14.         void readParts();
  15. };
  16.  
  17.  bool SNOOPER::eventFilter( QObject *o, QEvent *e )
  18.  {
  19.      bool bRval = false;
  20.  
  21.     if (e->type() == QEvent::KeyPress)
  22.     {
  23.         qDebug("KeyPress event detected.");
  24.         bRval = true;
  25.         exit(0);
  26.     }
  27.     else
  28.     {
  29.         qDebug("Non-KeyPress event detected.");
  30.     }
  31.     return bRval;
  32.  }

I received the following output when I run the program, but I do not get any key events:

Qt Code: 
  1. Non-KeyPress event detected.
  2. Non-KeyPress event detected.

Please let me know what I am missing.

Thanks!
