Keypress never fired on lineedit qcombobox

[stef13013]

Hi,

I added an eventfilter() to the lineedit() of a qcombobox
Then event() is called but not the keypress type.

// create combo
//
cb = new QComboBox();
...
cb->setEditable(true);
cb->lineEdit()->installEventFilter(this);
 
...
 
bool MainWindow::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
{
    if (obj==cb->lineEdit())
    {
        // lots of events are fired but never keypress !!??
        if (event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress)                           
        {
            QKeyEvent *keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent *>(event);
 
            if (keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_Period)
            {
                ....
                return true;
            }
        }
 
        return false;
    }
    else
      return QMainWindow::eventFilter(obj, event);
}

// create combo
//
cb = new QComboBox();
...
cb->setEditable(true);
cb->lineEdit()->installEventFilter(this);

...

bool MainWindow::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
{
    if (obj==cb->lineEdit())
    {
        // lots of events are fired but never keypress !!??
        if (event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress)                           
        {
            QKeyEvent *keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent *>(event);

            if (keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_Period)
            {
                ....
                return true;
            }
        }

        return false;
    }
    else
      return QMainWindow::eventFilter(obj, event);
}

I guess I understand,

EventFilter() must be on combo and not on lineedit !!!
Wow not so easy...

A big Thanks to the open source !!!
