Problem reimplementing QWidget::keyPressEvent

[jiveaxe]

Hi,
I need to change Tab key behavior for a QTextEdit so that when pressed the focus is passed to the next widget of the parent dialog (in tab order). So I have reimplemented void QWidget::keyPressEvent( QKeyEvent * event ) of my custom QTextEdit this way:

void CustomTextEdit::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event)
{
	switch (event->key()) {
		case Qt::Key_Tab:
			emit focusnextchild();
			break;
		default:
			QWidget::keyPressEvent(event);
	}
}

void CustomTextEdit::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event)
{
	switch (event->key()) {
		case Qt::Key_Tab:
			emit focusnextchild();
			break;
		default:
			QWidget::keyPressEvent(event);
	}
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but now only the Tab key works (and the next widget is focused); pressing any other key (for inserting text in the textedit, for example) does nothing.

Where am I wrong?

did you inherit your widget from QTextEdit?
if yes, then try

....
default:
            QTextEdit::keyPressEvent(event);
....

....
default:
            QTextEdit::keyPressEvent(event);
....

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Yes, spirit, you're right. Now works.

Thanks
