overridden QAxWidget::translateKeyEvent(int message, int keycode) not being called

[ChrisW67]

Please us [code] [/code] tags around code.

From the QAxWidget docs:

However, you cannot reimplement Qt-specific event handlers like mousePressEvent or keyPressEvent and expect them to be called reliably. The embedded control covers the QAxWidget completely, and usually handles the user interface itself. Use control-specific APIs (i.e. listen to the signals of the control), or use standard COM techniques like window procedure subclassing.

A version of same question has been asked in the recent past:

ChrisW67, thanks for the help, I did read the document and I know the Qt event might not be reliable to be called. but right now my question is the QAxWidget::translateKeyEvent(...) should be called if we override it, right? but I could not see it is called by tracing the program. any advise, thanks in advance.

Yes, given that it is part of QAxWidget and not the underlying QWidget interface, I guess it should. Your declaration seems sound, ie. correct signature.

Is the wrapped control common? Could you post a small compilable example that doesn't work?
