How can both graphicsView and graphicsItem receive mousemoveEvent?

[Sergio]

In short what I understand is you want to zoom into the scene / view with rubberband effect.

I dont think you have to go to items level for that. What you need to do is - catch mouse events in your scene / view. Draw the rubberband in mouse move events, and finally on mouse release event you capture a rect, from the mousepress(x,y) and mouserelease(x,y).
Now you convert this rect in to scene rect, and call QGraphicsView::fitInView()
Thats it, you are zoomed in :-) , and you only had to capture events in the view

That is exactly what I need! I've implemented almost all of it, but it is not working when i subclass a scene, and subclass the GraphicsView will be sort of problematic, because I'm using the widget from the Designer widget bar. I would have to create dynamically including the layouts

Thanks in advance for any Help

Hi,

I have very similar problem regarding this subject.

I have a QGraphicsView and QGraphicsScene and some QGraphicsItem (as usual). For again to zoom upan a rubberband action I needed to reimplement mouse move event in QGraphicsView. Moreover, I also want to change the color of the item whenever mouse moves on the item. So it seemed I need to reimplement the mouse move event also in the QGraphicsItem. But I doesn't work. I also tried out eventFilter thing.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.
