Problemas with mouseMoveEvent - Wont Catch Any Movement

[21altf]

Hey,

I'm having trouble setting up mouseMoveEvent. I setted up a mousePressEvent and it works just fine, but I wont get any response from the
mouseMoveEvent.

I need to catch the mouse position when its moving. Its not implemented yet, but once I grab hold of the mouse movements I will send the positions that are changing to a function to process these movements.

This is the code that I have:

#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H
 
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QGraphicsScene>
#include <QGraphicsLineItem>
#include <QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent>

    explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
    virtual void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *qme1);
    virtual void mouseMoveEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *mme2);
    void createLine();
    qreal x1,x2,y1,y2;
    int i;
    QGraphicsScene *scene;
 
 
    ~MainWindow();

any help will be appreciated.

Added after 54 minutes:

I made it work.

I had to create a class derived from QGraphicView and do another implementation of mouseMoveEvent under it. Any1 can explain why this is necessary?

Why couldnt I just have done it in QMainWindow since it is its central ?

Have you tried to setMouseTracking(true) ?
From the docs:

If mouse tracking is switched off, mouse move events only occur if a mouse button is pressed while the mouse is being moved. If mouse tracking is switched on, mouse move events occur even if no mouse button is pressed.
