QListWidget keypress capture ?

[tonnot]

I'd want to detect some keys at Qlistwidget, (insert, delete) not when an item is being edited (in fact I have no edit activate)
I dont know how to do it,
Some idea ?

As usual, override key press events for the widget having focus.

Somthing like that

Header:

class MyListWidget : public QListWidget {
Q_OBJECT
protected:
virtual void keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent*)
};

Source:

void MyListWidget::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event) {
if (event->key() == Qt::Key_Insert))
{
somthing
}
else{
QListWidget::keyPressEvent(event);
}
}

I know that I can override events for widgets, but ... the listwidget I use is just droped onto the main form.
How can I override functions for an existing widget ?
Thanks.

You can use eventFilter if you don't want to reimplement keyPressEvent : eventFilter

Promote the widget to a custom class.
