Problems with QGraphicsItem and Overiding methods

[jpn]

If you override QGraphicsScene mouse event handlers, you must call the base class implementation if you want any item to receive mouse events.

how do i do that?
and where do i do that?

[jpn]

void SubClass::virtualFunction()
{
    BaseClass::virtualFunction(); // <---
    // ...
}

void SubClass::virtualFunction()
{
    BaseClass::virtualFunction(); // <---
    // ...
}

where subclass is my subclass of QGraphicsScene
in this case called BoardModel

and BaseClass is QGraphicsScene itself?


and virtualfunction is mouseMoveEvent?

[jpn]

Yes, exactly. Your reimplementation is called instead of the QGraphicsScene implementation, but the QGraphicsScene implementation is the one who delivers mouse events to the items.
