Right click mouseReleaseEvents aren't caught by eventfilter,other events though are

[daudiam]

My application consists of a WebView widget. A mouse click on the widget is not handled by the mousePressEvent() of my application, but by the WebView widget. So, I installed an event filter to receive the events. Now, I get notified of all events, except the mouseReleaseEvent for the right click (Everything works fine for left clicks and mousePressEvent for the right click is also getting registered). I guess it has got something to do with context events getting generated by right clicks (a pop-up menu gets generated). But since I am using a filter, the event should first be sent to me. The following is the code for the event filter

public boolean eventFilter(QObject o,QEvent event)
	{
		if (event.type()==QEvent.Type.MouseButtonPress)   // One can call the mousePressEvent() functions from here,which can do this work but speed
		{
			if (((QMouseEvent)event).button()==Qt.MouseButton.LeftButton)
			{
				mousebuttontype=1;
				clickedorpressed=1;
			}
			else
			if (((QMouseEvent)event).button()==Qt.MouseButton.RightButton)
			{
				mousebuttontype=2;
				System.out.println("right");
			}
			t1=QTime.currentTime();
			t1.start();
		}
		else
		if (event.type()==QEvent.Type.MouseButtonRelease)
		{
			if (t1.elapsed()>900)
			{
				switch(mousebuttontype)
				{
					case 1:	browser.back();
						break;
					case 2:	browser.forward();
						break;
				}	
			}System.out.println("choda");
		}	
 
		return false;
	}

public boolean eventFilter(QObject o,QEvent event)
	{
		if (event.type()==QEvent.Type.MouseButtonPress)   // One can call the mousePressEvent() functions from here,which can do this work but speed
		{
			if (((QMouseEvent)event).button()==Qt.MouseButton.LeftButton)
			{
				mousebuttontype=1;
				clickedorpressed=1;
			}
			else
			if (((QMouseEvent)event).button()==Qt.MouseButton.RightButton)
			{
				mousebuttontype=2;
				System.out.println("right");
			}
			t1=QTime.currentTime();
			t1.start();
		}
		else
		if (event.type()==QEvent.Type.MouseButtonRelease)
		{
			if (t1.elapsed()>900)
			{
				switch(mousebuttontype)
				{
					case 1:	browser.back();
						break;
					case 2:	browser.forward();
						break;
				}	
			}System.out.println("choda");
		}	
				
		return false;
	}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

On a right click, I get the message "right" but on releasing, I don't get "choda". I get both the messages for left clicks.

Any workaround so that I can simply note the time for which the right mouse button is being pressed. I was setting the QTime object with the system time when the mousePress event was generated and when the mouseRelease event was generated, I caculated the elapsed time by calling the elapse() function. Works perfectly for left clicks, but for the right clicks only the mousePress event is being caught, not the mouseRelease event by my application (through the eventFilter slot). Any other way by which i can do this ?

Is this even correct c++? At least, I haven't seen this before.

Try

QEvent::MouseButtonPress
and
QEvent::MouseButtonRelease

QEvent::MouseButtonPress
and
QEvent::MouseButtonRelease

he code I posted compiled correctly.

The code was in Qt Jambi. If you can point out the workaround for Qt, I can modify it for Jambi. My problem is that the context menu event generated by right clicking on the web page, somehow prevents me from receiving the mouseRelease event for the right click after I have received the mousePress event when the right click occured.

Are you writing jave or C++ ?

[daudiam]

The code is in java.

I did the following.

In subclassed QWebView and overrode te contextMenuEvent() slot so as to ignore the event. This enabled my application to receive the mouseRelease event. On the other hand, it forced my application to handle the context menu events, which I did. Thanks.
