Can't trigger mousePressEvent on QGraphicsPixmapItem

[blooglet]

Did you override the scene mousepress/move/release event? If you did I think you need to call for example QGraphicsScene::mousePressEvent(mouseEvent) in the mousePress to propagate the event to the items.

I did override the default event. Are you saying that I need to do this?

void ChessPiece::mousePressEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event) {
   QGraphicsScene::mousePressEvent(mouseEvent);
   // ...

void ChessPiece::mousePressEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event) {
   QGraphicsScene::mousePressEvent(mouseEvent);
   // ...

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But if that function will never get called, the call to QGraphicsScene::mousePressEvent(mouseEvent) will never be made, right?
