QGraphicsItem-QGraphicsScene

[hgedek]

I created a form using QGraphics classes.On them there are pictures.How can I scale them by using keyboard ?
(For scaling I am using QTimeLine class -scale() function etc.)

If you want to scale only the selected image( that item has to have the selectable flag ), independently of the other images, then you can catch keyboard event with QGraphicsItem::keyPressEvent.

If you want to scale the entire scene at the same time, then you can catch key presses with QGraphicsScene::keyPressEvent.

Please note that you have to subclass QGraphicsItem/QGraphicsScene and override keyPressEvent in order to be able to get key presses.

I think I will use QGraphicsItem.On scene I have 6 image.And using keyboard I will pass one to another.Then pressed anothet button I will activate it.(Like Nokia menu!)

To move with the keyboard from one item to another in a scene you will have to override QGraphicsScene::keyPressEvent and catch the arrow key presses there.
The default behavior for the arrow keys is none( the view will scroll actually ).

Ok.I read scene::keyPressEvent.But I couldnt understand how to do.setFocus or setFocusItem
functions are used?Or how to do?

infos:
items are scaling translating etc in its Item class.This works by hover event.

I think QGraphicsItem::setSelected(true) should do it.
But, anyway, if the next item that you select does not have focus, you also should call setFocusItem. Make sure that all the items have the flags: ItemIsSelectable and ItemIsFocusable.
