QPlainTextEdit reimplementation

[qt_developer]

Hi all,

I have reimplemented a QPlainTextEdit class to get the text inserted by the user, my code:

#ifndef PLAINTEXTEDIT_H
#define PLAINTEXTEDIT_H
 
#include <QPlainTextEdit>
 
namespace Ui {
class GPlainTextEdit;
}
 
class GPlainTextEdit : public QPlainTextEdit
{
    Q_OBJECT
 
public:
    explicit GPlainTextEdit(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~GPlainTextEdit();
 
protected:
    void keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e);
 
private:
    Ui::GPlainTextEdit *ui;
};
 
#endif // PLAINTEXTEDIT_H

#ifndef PLAINTEXTEDIT_H
#define PLAINTEXTEDIT_H

#include <QPlainTextEdit>

namespace Ui {
class GPlainTextEdit;
}

class GPlainTextEdit : public QPlainTextEdit
{
    Q_OBJECT
    
public:
    explicit GPlainTextEdit(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~GPlainTextEdit();

protected:
    void keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e);
    
private:
    Ui::GPlainTextEdit *ui;
};

#endif // PLAINTEXTEDIT_H

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

#include "gplaintextedit.h"
#include "ui_gplaintextedit.h"
 
#include <QDebug>
 
GPlainTextEdit::GPlainTextEdit(QWidget *parent) :
    QPlainTextEdit(parent),
    ui(new Ui::GPlainTextEdit)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
 
    connect(this, SIGNAL(textChanged()), this, SLOT(onCustomContextMenuRequested()));
    qDebug() << "GPlainTextEdit::GPlainTextEdit()";
}
 
GPlainTextEdit::~GPlainTextEdit()
{
    delete ui;
}
 
void GPlainTextEdit::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)
{
    qDebug() << "GPlainTextEdit::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)";
}

#include "gplaintextedit.h"
#include "ui_gplaintextedit.h"

#include <QDebug>

GPlainTextEdit::GPlainTextEdit(QWidget *parent) :
    QPlainTextEdit(parent),
    ui(new Ui::GPlainTextEdit)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);

    connect(this, SIGNAL(textChanged()), this, SLOT(onCustomContextMenuRequested()));
    qDebug() << "GPlainTextEdit::GPlainTextEdit()";
}

GPlainTextEdit::~GPlainTextEdit()
{
    delete ui;
}

void GPlainTextEdit::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)
{
    qDebug() << "GPlainTextEdit::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)";
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui version="4.0">
 <class>GPlainTextEdit</class>
 <widget class="QPlainTextEdit" name="GPlainTextEdit">
  <property name="geometry">
   <rect>
    <x>0</x>
    <y>0</y>
    <width>104</width>
    <height>64</height>
   </rect>
  </property>
 </widget>
 <resources/>
 <connections/>
</ui>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui version="4.0">
 <class>GPlainTextEdit</class>
 <widget class="QPlainTextEdit" name="GPlainTextEdit">
  <property name="geometry">
   <rect>

    <height>64</height>
   </rect>
  </property>
 </widget>
 <resources/>
 <connections/>
</ui>

Then, in another widget, I have created a promoted widget using the reimplemented class, but the method 'keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)' is not called.

I have put a log in the GPlainTextEdit constructor, but it isn't shown.

I have used the debugger in the QPlainTextEdit constructor call, but I can't step into.

Any help is appreciated.

Best regards.

all of that probably means your widget is never created. show more code (read my sig)!

I have made clean + run qmake and now works properly.
