Hello friends,

I have a subclassed qtextedit in a QMAinwindow. So my target is to achieve that the key events from textedit
are handled in Mainwindow event system. so when I make this:
Qt Code: 
  1. //**************************************************************************
  2. class keyPressCatcher:public QObject
  3. //**************************************************************************
  4. {
  5.   public:
  6.   keyPressCatcher():QObject()
  7.   {};
  8.   ~keyPressCatcher()
  9.   {};
  10.  
  11.   bool eventFilter(QObject* object,QEvent* event)
  12.   {
  13.      if (event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress)
  14.      {
  15.          QKeyEvent *keyEvent = dynamic_cast<QKeyEvent *>(event);
  16.  
  17.      std::cout << "You Pressed " << keyEvent->text().toStdString() << "\n";
  18.          return true;
  19.      }
  20.      else
  21.      {
  22.          // standard event processing
  23.          return QObject::eventFilter(object, event);
  24.      }
  25.  
  26.  
  27.  
  28.   };
  29.  
  30.  
  31. };
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and install the eventfilter

Qt Code: 
  1. this->installEventFilter(new keyPressCatcher());
  2.  
  3. and textedit->installEventFilter(this);
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

nothing appears.

So my question is what the the basic step to achieve this functionality?

Thanx in advance
