QGraphicsItem reimplemented mouse events

[aarelovich]

If you say it's ok then I believe you. It's just that I haven't abuse of anything. I wanted to use some of the simpler features and I've gotten several more headaches than when I tried to learn other qt tools. But anyways, there is no way I'm going to look at the mouseEvent code and understand it. But thaks for the encouragment.

Well, I did have a look. It's very educating to solve your problems by looking into Qt's source code, you should try it. Based on the code I can say that if your item doesn't have any flags set (ItemIsMovable or ItemIsSelectable (the others are ignored), to be exact), you shouldn't call the implementation of mousePressEvent from QGraphicsItem because the event will be ignored and forwarded to an item laying below or to the scene which will probably do something that causes incorrect behaviour of mouseReleaseEvent.

Well, that basically fits nicely with why I had to pass the events to the QGraphicsItem::mousePressEvents() in my other class, that Item effectively needed to be moveable.

I'll try what you tell me some time.

Thanks.

So I decided to have a look too. I've searched for the code on the web and found it here:

(To be honest I can't find it in Linux)

I think I see what you mean, but there still there is something that I don't understand.

I was calling QGraphicsItem::mousePressEvent() in my reimplementation of the mousePress and that event did work, however according to the code here if my item is neither moveable or selectable it should also be ignored, what am I missing?

[aarelovich]

Ok, so I've read your original answer and now i get that you've allready answered my own question.

I'm sorry.

Thanks.
