paintEvent not getting called with QMainWindow

[wysota]

You just check if it is called:

#include <QtGui>
 
class MyWindow : public QMainWindow {
public:
  MyWindow(){}
protected:
  void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *pe){
    qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO;
    QMainWindow::paintEvent(pe);
  }
};
 
int main(int argc, char **argv){
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  MyWindow mw;
  mw.show();  
  return app.exec();
}

#include <QtGui>

class MyWindow : public QMainWindow {
public:
  MyWindow(){}
protected:
  void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *pe){
    qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO;
    QMainWindow::paintEvent(pe);
  }
};

int main(int argc, char **argv){
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  MyWindow mw;
  mw.show();  
  return app.exec();
}
