Eventfilter problem

[codeman]

When I hit Enter in TExtedit I would like to enter this section in KeypressEvent:

if(key == Qt::Key_Control   ||
        key == Qt::Key_Shift    ||
        key == Qt::Key_Alt      ||
        key == Qt::Key_Meta     ||
        key == Qt::Key_Return   ||
        key == Qt::Key_Enter   )
    {
        qDebug() << "Single click of special key: Ctrl, Shift, Alt or Meta or Enter/Return";
        qDebug() << "New KeySequence:" << QKeySequence(keyInt).toString(QKeySequence::NativeText);
        return;
    }

if(key == Qt::Key_Control   ||
        key == Qt::Key_Shift    ||
        key == Qt::Key_Alt      ||
        key == Qt::Key_Meta     ||
        key == Qt::Key_Return   ||
        key == Qt::Key_Enter   )
    {
        qDebug() << "Single click of special key: Ctrl, Shift, Alt or Meta or Enter/Return";
        qDebug() << "New KeySequence:" << QKeySequence(keyInt).toString(QKeySequence::NativeText);
        return;
    }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But I have no output.

But your event filter method is being called - so just step through and see where the code is going and why - you have to debug - its pars of software development.
See what key you actually get, and that the code runs the way you actually meant.

[codeman]

Thats the problem. When I hit Ctrl+d or F1 or only Ctrl I run into my

MainWindow::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent* event)

MainWindow::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent* event)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But when I only press Enter I get a carriage return in my textedit but no event is triggered so I cant debug.

So when I reimplement my Textedit::keyPressEvent

and call

if(e->key() == Qt::Key_Return)
        qDebug() << "Hallo";

if(e->key() == Qt::Key_Return)
        qDebug() << "Hallo";

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I get my output;

I provide an example project where you can see it if you can surely(when you have the time & fun). When I handle return in MAinwindow no event is triggered. When I reimplement it again in Textedit I can catch the event.
I cannot add a zip archiv....

But when I only press Enter I get a carriage return in my textedit but no event is triggered so I cant debug.

Oh, I read to fast your previous answer, I thought you DO get a qDebug().

But you can debug - set a break point in the first line of the function - that is the only sure way to know.

In the information you provided I can't see anything else.
Post you project, and i will try it.

So here is the project:
installEvent.zip
By the way the breakpoint in my event method and hitting Enter does not enter this method.

Thanx in advance

[high_flyer]

MainWindow::keyPressEvent()
should be
MainWindow::eventFilter()

[codeman]

And what is inside the bracket of your event method

[high_flyer]

Sorry I don't follow....?
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qob...ml#eventFilter

[codeman]

Is this correct:

MainWindow::eventFilter(QKeyEvent* event)

MainWindow::eventFilter(QKeyEvent* event)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

MainWindow::eventFilter(QKeyEvent* event)

[high_flyer]

Please read the eventFilter docs.
Don't expect to be fed every little detail.

Ok thank you very much
