keyPressevent not working with timer.

[T1001]

Doesn't work with escape being pressed. If I set keyval = 111 in the keyPressEvent call and comment out the conditional operator, it should set keyval to 111 with any keypress. But its not. Likewise, if I set keyval=111 in the mousePressEvent below, it works, and is being called. Why isn't keyPressEvent being called?

Thanks in advance.

void GLWidget::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)
{
	/*
	switch( e->key() )
	{
	case Qt::Key_Escape:
		keyval=111;
	}
	*/
 
	keyval = 111; // the label should read 111 if any keypress is occuring
 
}
 
void GLWidget::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
	lastPos = event->pos();
             // if I put keyval = 111 here, it shows in the label with mousepress
}

void GLWidget::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)
{
	/*
	switch( e->key() )
	{
	case Qt::Key_Escape:
		keyval=111;
	}
	*/

	keyval = 111; // the label should read 111 if any keypress is occuring

}

void GLWidget::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
	lastPos = event->pos();
             // if I put keyval = 111 here, it shows in the label with mousepress
}
