Disable MouseEvent function

[2lights]

Good Day,

Subclassed QGraphicsView
Created functions for mouseMove & mousePressed events accordingly

after that a user must be given the option to move the image in graphicsView
how do I disable the mouseEvent functions so the user can move the image

newImage2->setFlag(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsMovable); // this does not work because the mouse events were overridden

newImage2->setFlag(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsMovable); // this does not work because the mouse events were overridden

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Is there a way I can create a Toggle button of sorts to decide which mouseEvent must be called

Ideas please
Kind Regards

Call the base class implementation from your event handler.

use event filter with mouseevent ..

bool Window::eventFilter(QObject *watched, QEvent* e)
{
if (watched == chatEdit && e->type() == QEvent::MouseEvent) {
/** ignore it */
return true;
}
}
return QWidget::eventFilter(watched, e);
}

bool Window::eventFilter(QObject *watched, QEvent* e)
{
if (watched == chatEdit && e->type() == QEvent::MouseEvent) {
/** ignore it */
return true;
}
}
return QWidget::eventFilter(watched, e);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and dont forget to install it and remove whenever it required ..
view->installEventFilter(this);
