    Question How to get mouse press events out from a QTableWidget?

    How to get mouse press events out from a QTableWidget which is part of another widget?

    I am using event filter and installEventFilter method. But it can only get mousepress event when I click the very edge of the QTableWidget object.

    The interesting thing is that the key-pressing events and wheel events are always caught by the code.

    Anybody knows how to deal with this? Thanks!

    Code is:
    Qt Code:
    1. // install event filter for tablewidget
    2. tableWidget->installEventFilter(this);
    3.  
    4. bool AotfFilterGui::eventFilter( QObject *object, QEvent *event )
    5. {
    6. // firstly, check whether the object is the QTableWidget and if it's a mouse press event
    7. if (object == tableWidget)
    8. if( event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonPress)
    9. { // if yes, we need to cast the event into a QMouseEvent type
    10. QMouseEvent *pMouseEvent = static_cast<QMouseEvent *>(event);
    11. // check whether it's mid button pressed
    12. /*if (pMouseEvent->button() == Qt::MidButton)
    13. {*/
    14. //do the processing and return true
    15. textBrowserErrorInfo->setText(tr("clicked"));
    16. return true;
    17. //}
    18. }
    19. else if (event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress) {
    20. QKeyEvent *keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent*>(event);
    21. textBrowserErrorInfo->setText(tr( "Ate key press: " + keyEvent->text()));
    22. return true;
    23. }
    24. return QWidget::eventFilter(object, event);
    25. }

    Install the filter on the table's viewport widget and not the table itself.
