G'day all,
Perhaps I am suffering brain fade or caffeine withdrawal but I am sure someone can help.
I have a QPrintPreviewWidget displaying a multi-page document. The mouse wheel scrolls up and down through the pages quite happily. I'd like to trap mouse wheel events when the Control key is pressed to zoom in and out.
My first approach was to subclass QPrintPreviewWidget and override wheelEvent(). Unfortunately the new wheelEvent() does not get called unless the preview scroll area has moved all the way to the top (bottom) of the document. The vertical scroll bar is consuming the event before I can see it, and stop consuming it if it can no longer scroll. The result is the Ctrl-Wheel only zooms at top or bottom of the document.
My second approach was to install an event filter hoping to see the wheel events before the scroll bars consumed them. This suffers the same problem.
Both approaches shown below. Similar result Qt4.8.4 and 5.1.0 on Linux.
How do I get these events before the scroll area/bars?
Cheers,
Chris
