Re-implement mouse events of QTextEdit

Hi, i am working on plain text editor using QTextEdit. I have subclassed QTextEdit.

MyEditor : public QTextEdit

I want to re-implement keypressevent and mouse events (move/clicked/released et cetera)

Re-implementing keypressevent has no issues. But when i reimplement mousemoveevent for example, i expect the cotrol to come to my re-implemented mousemove event function in MyEditor . This is not happening.

I installed event filter on MyEditor and then caught mouse event in eventhandler and calling my slot say processMovemoveEvent( me ). This works.

I wonder if re-implementing mouse events for QTextEdit does not allowed?

Some light please .........

Please post the code where you try to install the event handler.

You have to enable mouse tracking with QWidget::setMouseTracking().
