    Default subclassing QGraphicsItem, QGraphicsPixmapItem

    can someone point me in the right direction to find COMPLETE examples of subclassing. I have not made this request here because i did not want to look like an idiot... but i can not find the docs to show me how to do this.

    Qt Code:
    1. this works for me
    2.  
    3. item=this->scene()->addPixmap(pixmap);
    4.  
    5. i am trying to sub class QGraphicsItem.
    6. my subclass does not work :
    7. myGraphicItem *item;
    8. item=this->scene()->addPixmap(pixmap);
    9.  
    10. error ! cannot convert QGraphicsPixmapItem* to myGraphicsItem* in assignment.

    Default Re: subclassing QGraphicsItem, QGraphicsPixmapItem

    It won't work that way. The method returns a QGraphicsPixmapItem so you can only assign it to QGraphicsPixmapItem or its ancesstor (QGraphicsItem) pointer.

    If you want to subclass QGraphicsItem or one of its subclasses, you need to add the item to the scene in a different manner:
    Qt Code:
    1. myGraphicsItem *item = new myGraphicsItem;
    2. scene()->addItem(item);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Thanks Wysota,

    I will try it that way, i need to be able to change the boundingRect. Do you know of a place i can research the subclassing of Qt classes.

    Qt is ANSI C++ compliant so everything that applies to subclassing in C++ applies to subclassing Qt classes as well.
