QGraphicsItem::itemIsMovable

[steg90]

Hi,

As part of my derived QGraphicsItem class I override the paint event to draw my object. I thought by setting the itemIsMovable flag would allow the item to be moved when user clicks and drags it? Am I missing something? Do I have to do more work in the paint event to allow the item to be moved?

Here is the code for the class :



class CCanGraphicsItem : public QGraphicsItem
{
public:
CCanGraphicsItem( int x, int y, QString strText ) : m_rect( 10, 10, 200, 100 ), m_color( QColor(255,255,255,255) )
{
m_strText = strText;
setPos( x, y );
m_pFont = new QFont("Times", 20, QFont::Bold );
setFlag(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsMovable, true);
setFlag(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsSelectable, true);
}
void paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem *option, QWidget *widget)
{
// painter->setRenderHint(QPainter::Antialiasing, true);
painter->setFont( *m_pFont );
painter->setPen(Qt::SolidLine);
painter->setBrush(m_color);
painter->drawRoundRect( m_rect );//10, 10, 100, 100);
painter->drawText( 20, 20, 190, 90, Qt::AlignCenter, m_strText );//, m_rect );
}

QRectF boundingRect() const { return m_rect; }

protected:
void mouseDoubleClickEvent ( QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent * event )
{
QMessageBox::information(0, "Debug", m_strText );

}

void contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *event)
{
}

QRectF m_rect;
QColor m_color;
QString m_strText;
QFont* m_pFont;
};


Regards,
Steve

Hi,

Seems that if I move the itemIsMovable into the paint event it works...

It'd be nice if you called base class implementations of events from within your event handlers. Otherwise it doesn't really matter what flags you set if Qt can't process them.
