QGraphicsItem - clipping all child mouse events that are outside of parent

[ivan.cukic]

1) Why cant u increase parent to include all the children in it ?

Well, as I said, I want to implement a scroll-pane like widget - it is meant not to show all items - it has to have a fixed size and to provide mechanism for scrolling items in it (scroll bars etc.)

why so ? if u override the hoverevent in child item and check if that point lies in the parent

I know what you mean, but the scroll pane should be general enough to hold any subclass of QGrItem, so I can not override children's methods.
