GraphicsView paintEvent() method implementation problem

[sujan.dasmahapatra]

Dear Friends
If I reimplement paintEvent() method of QGraphicsView then all my previously painted graphicsItems are going off from the screen

Actually like this

class GraphiscScene : public QGraphicsScene
{
   Q_OBJECT;
}
GraphiscScene::GraphicsScene()
{
   setBackgroundBrush(Qt::black);
}
 
class GraphicsView:public QGraphicsView
{
     Q_OBJECT
public:
      GraphicsView(GraphicsScene *Scene);
     void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event);         // if I add this part and implement  it my screen is getting white. and no items are visible.
}
 
GraphicsView::GraphicsView(GraphicsScene *Scene)
{
   setScene(Scene);
}
// previously this was not there...Now I want to implement paintEvent to draw a rectangle on the screen.But if I add this part my screen is getting white.
void GraphicsView::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event)
{
}
 
class MainWindow:public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
     GraphicsView  *view;
    GraphicsScene *scene;
}
 
MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
   scene = new GraphicsScene;
   view = new GraphicsView(scene);
   view->show(); 
}
 
// After creating a view and scene like this I am creating some GraphicsItems and adding them to  into the scene
// They're being displayed nicely on the screen
// Now I want to draw a  dynamic rectangle starting from mousePree  point to mouseRelease point and that iwant to draw on the screen
// For that I need to reimplement paintEvent() method of the GraphicsView
// But when I try to implement that my  intial view which should be black screen is getting white and no items are visible in the view.

class GraphiscScene : public QGraphicsScene
{
   Q_OBJECT;
}
GraphiscScene::GraphicsScene()
{
   setBackgroundBrush(Qt::black);
}

class GraphicsView:public QGraphicsView
{
     Q_OBJECT
public:
      GraphicsView(GraphicsScene *Scene);
     void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event);         // if I add this part and implement  it my screen is getting white. and no items are visible.
}

GraphicsView::GraphicsView(GraphicsScene *Scene)
{
   setScene(Scene);
}
// previously this was not there...Now I want to implement paintEvent to draw a rectangle on the screen.But if I add this part my screen is getting white.
void GraphicsView::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event)
{
}

class MainWindow:public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
     GraphicsView  *view;
    GraphicsScene *scene;
}

MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
   scene = new GraphicsScene;
   view = new GraphicsView(scene);
   view->show(); 
}

// After creating a view and scene like this I am creating some GraphicsItems and adding them to  into the scene
// They're being displayed nicely on the screen
// Now I want to draw a  dynamic rectangle starting from mousePree  point to mouseRelease point and that iwant to draw on the screen

Please, try to use code tags where possible.

[wagmare]

void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event);

in case of using paintEvent on view u can use ..

QGraphicsView::drawBackground(QPainter *, const QRectF &)

QGraphicsView::drawBackground(QPainter *, const QRectF &)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

this will help u painting on QGraphicsScene()
