Problem with Google Maps in QT Widget [Archive]

Hi,

I have currently compiled a QT app to display Google Maps inside QT widget but have issues with dragging across the map with the mouse as well as accessing the drawing tools displayed on the map. It seems like there is no interaction between the mouse buttons and the actual map inside the widget. The zoom button and the navigation control works but not the drawing tools (markers, circle, polygon etc.) and when I drag the mouse across, nothing happens.

Below is what the GUI looks like.

And here's the code.

main.cpp

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "QGMap.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv)

QApplication app(argc, argv);

QGMap MainWindow;
MainWindow.setWindowTitle("Maps (powered by Google)");
MainWindow.resize(800, 600);
MainWindow.show();

return app.exec();

Thanks.
