On Press Space Key item in QTreeWidget gets checked.

[merry]

Working in Qt4.6 on mac os 10.6 , Whenever i press Space key item in QTreeWidget gets checked, i am trying to handle it using keyPressEvent but nothing happens.


void MyTreeWidget::keyPressEvent ( QKeyEvent * event )
{
this->QTreeWidget::keyPressEvent(event);
if(event->key()==Qt::Key_Space)
{
event->ignore();
}
}

What should i do so that nothing happens on press of space key.

Regards,

Try not calling the superclass keyPressEvent() if you don't want it to handle the key press.

I used keyPressEvent() for handling the space key, if i not use this then also it wont works, On press space key the item in treeWidget gets checked.

You're ignoring the even after passing it to the base clase, no wonder that doesn't change widget's bahaviour.

Put line 3 at the end of the function then event will get ignored before it's processed.

Also, could you elaborate what you mean by 'checked'?
Is there a checkbox that gets checked or widget gets higlighted like when it's selected or maybe something else?
I'm bit confused here.
