QGraphicsItem: How block input without hack ?

[Alundra]

What I need is very simple : when the mouse button is pressed this event is not propagated to things behind and not the scene too.
Actually if you click on the item you will have the selection rectangle of the scene, I would not have that happening, just click on the item and nothing happens like a barrier of the mouse event.

Found the solution :

void CEditorNodeConnector::mousePressEvent( QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent* event )
{
	QGraphicsItem::mousePressEvent( event );
	event->accept();
}

void CEditorNodeConnector::mousePressEvent( QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent* event )
{
	QGraphicsItem::mousePressEvent( event );
	event->accept();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Doesn't calling the base class event handler cause the unwanted effects you were trying to avoid? Or have you set the flags to make the item non-editable and non-selectable?

Yes I removed the "selectable" flag and added this mouse filtering.
Yes, it's true, calling the base class can be avoided.
