QWidget keyPressEvent override
- by eaigner
Hi there,
I'm trying for half an eternity now overriding QWidgets keyPressEvent function in QT but it just won't work. I've to say i am new to CPP, but I know ObjC and standard C.
My problem looks like this:
class QSGameBoard : public QWidget {
Q_OBJECT
public:
QSGameBoard(QWidget *p, int w, int h, QGraphicsScene *s);
signals:
void keyCaught(QKeyEvent *e);
protected:
virtual void keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event);
};
QSGameBoard is my QWidget subclass and i need to override the keyPressEvent and fire a SIGNAL on each event to notify some registered objects.
My overridden keyPressEvent in QSGameBoard.cpp looks like this:
void QSGameBoard::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event) {
printf("\nkey event in board: %i", event->key());
//emit keyCaught(event);
}
When i change QSGameBoard:: to QWidget:: it receives the events, but i cant emit the signal because the compiler complains about the scope. And if i write it like this the function doesn't get called at all.
What's the problem here?
