QTableWidget + QEventFilter: cannot filter mouse events

[trallallero]

Hi all,

I need to permit to edit only some items of the QTableWidget, not all, so I've thought to install an
event filter but I'm not able to filter the mouse events. I log the event type but I've never seen a log
with type 2, 3 or 4 (mouse events).

This is my filter:

bool CMouseEventFilter::eventFilter(QObject *Object, QEvent *Event)
{
    if (Object->objectName() == "tbwHaiClients")
    {
        MainWindow::Log(Object->objectName() + ": " + QString().number(Event->type()));
 
        switch (Event->type())
        {
            case QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick:
            case QEvent::MouseButtonRelease:
            case QEvent::MouseButtonPress:
            {
                // WILL DO SOME STUFF
                //return false;
                return true;
            }
            default: break;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

bool CMouseEventFilter::eventFilter(QObject *Object, QEvent *Event)
{
    if (Object->objectName() == "tbwHaiClients")
    {
        MainWindow::Log(Object->objectName() + ": " + QString().number(Event->type()));

        switch (Event->type())
        {
            case QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick:
            case QEvent::MouseButtonRelease:
            case QEvent::MouseButtonPress:
            {
                // WILL DO SOME STUFF
                //return false;
                return true;
            }
            default: break;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The filter works because I can see other event types like 1, 110, 8, 10, 11...
What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks.

Added after 17 minutes:

I've seen that if I install also:
twClients->viewport()->installEventFilter(m_MouseEventFilter);

I can see the mouse events but the problem is that I have several table widgets and all of them
have the same name in the event filter function: "qt_scrollarea_viewport".
How can I distinguish them ?

If you want to make some of your items not editable then clear the Qt::ItemIsEditable flag from those items using QTableWidgetItem::setFlags().
