QGraphicsItemGroup problem

[wysota]

I think you won't be able to achieve that without subclassing QGraphicsItemGroup. Basically that class is a QGraphicsItem subclass which by itself doesn't allow text interaction (as it doesn't even know what text is). So the thing you should probably do is to subclass the group item and introduce that functionality (by forwarding whatever needs to be forwarded to activate the text edition of the text item).

There are two ways to make it work, although this isn't really what QGraphicsItemGroup is for; it's correct that you can achieve this easily with a regular QGraphicsItem parent (which already supports grouping).

Option 1) Create a group item subclass that forwards key press and release events to the text item.

Option 2) Subclass the text item, then reimplent QGraphicsTextItem::sceneEvent() to intercept the mouse and key events for the text item before they are dispatched to the group item.

Good luck :-).
