problem in QGraphicsItemGroup

[wagmare]

hi friends,
i want to show and hide certain group of items in my graphicsScene() .... so i group these items using item group ...

QList<QGraphicsItem *> x86List;
 QGraphicsItemGroup *x86Group ;

QList<QGraphicsItem *> x86List;
 QGraphicsItemGroup *x86Group ;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and i appended the items to x86List one by one ...
and then

x86Group = scene->createItemGroup(x86List);
x86Group->setHandlesChildEvents (false );

x86Group = scene->createItemGroup(x86List);
x86Group->setHandlesChildEvents (false );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but when i assign x86Group = scene->createItemGroup(x86List); it start showing the items in the scene ... but i want to add it under certain function call only ...

i dont know how to hide the group beforre the condition met ...

please help

How about trying to call x86Group->hide();
Since QGraphicsItemGroup is inherited from QGraphicsItem
