Can't adjust font size of QGraphicsTextItem in QGraphicsRectItem

[leinad]

Hi,

I created a custom QGraphicsRectItem to allow me to handle mouse events which works fine. The issue I'm having is when I try to set the font of a QGraphicsTextItem which happens to be in my custom QGraphicsRectItem, it won't change I can't even change the text width. Below is a sample code.

CustomRect:
CustomRectItem::CustomRectItem()
{
 
}
 
//subclass QGraphicsRectItem to allow mouse events
void CustomRectItem::mousePressEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event)
{
int xyCellSize = 20;
 
  if(event->isAccepted())
  {
     if(event->button() == Qt::LeftButton)
     {
 
       int x = ((event->scenePos().x() - sceneStartCornerX_) / xyCellSize) + 2;  //add one to accomodate the cell for the pingee and pinger text  - 32
       int y = ((event->scenePos().y() - sceneStartCornerY_) / xyCellSize) + 2; // 217
       Q_EMIT sendRectClicked(y, x);
    }
  }
}
void CustomRectItem::getViewCoordinates(int x, int y)
{
sceneStartCornerX_ = x;
sceneStartCornerY_ = y;
}

CustomRect:
CustomRectItem::CustomRectItem()
{

}

//subclass QGraphicsRectItem to allow mouse events
void CustomRectItem::mousePressEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event)
{
int xyCellSize = 20;

  if(event->isAccepted())
  {
     if(event->button() == Qt::LeftButton)
     {

       int x = ((event->scenePos().x() - sceneStartCornerX_) / xyCellSize) + 2;  //add one to accomodate the cell for the pingee and pinger text  - 32
       int y = ((event->scenePos().y() - sceneStartCornerY_) / xyCellSize) + 2; // 217
       Q_EMIT sendRectClicked(y, x);
    }
  }
}
void CustomRectItem::getViewCoordinates(int x, int y)
{
sceneStartCornerX_ = x;
sceneStartCornerY_ = y;
}

------------------------------

In my main to change the fonts size:

CustomRectItem *rect = new CustomRectItem;
rect->setRect(12 + (XY_CELL_SIZE * column), sceneStartCornerY_ + (XY_CELL_SIZE * rowPlacement), XY_CELL_SIZE, XY_CELL_SIZE);
QGraphicsTextItem *appIDText = new QGraphicsTextItem(rect);
appIDText->setPos(12 + (XY_CELL_SIZE * column), sceneStartCornerY_ + (XY_CELL_SIZE * rowPlacement));
QFont times("Times", 10);
appIDText->setFont(times);
appIDText->setPlainText(QString::number(appID));
scene->addItem(rect);

CustomRectItem *rect = new CustomRectItem;
rect->setRect(12 + (XY_CELL_SIZE * column), sceneStartCornerY_ + (XY_CELL_SIZE * rowPlacement), XY_CELL_SIZE, XY_CELL_SIZE);
QGraphicsTextItem *appIDText = new QGraphicsTextItem(rect);
appIDText->setPos(12 + (XY_CELL_SIZE * column), sceneStartCornerY_ + (XY_CELL_SIZE * rowPlacement));
QFont times("Times", 10);
appIDText->setFont(times);
appIDText->setPlainText(QString::number(appID));
scene->addItem(rect);

The text is in the rect just can't change the font size. Can someone please explain to me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
