Install event filters.

[navid]

source code (from help of Qt4.6) is

protected:
    bool eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *ev);
 
MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
    ui->menuBar->installEventFilter(this);
}
 
bool MainWindow::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
{
    if (obj == ui->menuBar) {
        if (event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonPress) {
            QKeyEvent *keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent*>(event);
            qDebug() << "key pressed" << keyEvent->key();
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    } else {
        // pass the event on to the parent class
        return QMainWindow::eventFilter(obj, event);
    }
}

protected:
    bool eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *ev);

MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
    ui->menuBar->installEventFilter(this);
}

bool MainWindow::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
{
    if (obj == ui->menuBar) {
        if (event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonPress) {
            QKeyEvent *keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent*>(event);
            qDebug() << "key pressed" << keyEvent->key();
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    } else {
        // pass the event on to the parent class
        return QMainWindow::eventFilter(obj, event);
    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but for each time of click on the same menubar item, i receive a new number or receive the same number for different menubar items:

Ate key press 9
Ate key press 7
Ate key press 7
Ate key press 8
Ate key press 8
Ate key press 11
Ate key press 10
Ate key press 9
Ate key press 9
Ate key press 10
Ate key press 10
Ate key press 10
Ate key press 10
Ate key press 10
Ate key press 10
Ate key press 9
Ate key press 9
Ate key press 9
Ate key press 9
Ate key press 6
Ate key press 6
Ate key press 6

what is the solution?
