QWinWidget Inside MFC Control Not Repainting or Responding to Tab/Arrow keys

[average]

I am using a QWinWidget inside of an MFC dialog and the QWinWidget is not drawing itself correctly and it is not handling keyboard input correctly.

Repainting
Within the QWinWidget, I have a QTableWidget. When I scroll the QTableWidget, it does not redraw itself until I stop scrolling, at which point it redraws everything. Similarly, I can type into cells in the QTableWidget and the control is not updated until I force it to re-update by scrolling up or down (it re-updates when the scrolling stops).

Since this QWinWidget is housed in an MFC CDialog, I tried overriding the CDialog's OnPaint method and only call the QWinWidget::repaint method, however this has the opposite problem where now only the QWinWidget is updated and the CDialog is never redrawn, resulting in artifacts. If I call QWinWidget::repaint and CDialog::OnPaint, the result is the same as not overriding the OnPaint method.

Keyboard Input
None of the controls within the QWinWidget respond to the tab key or arrow keys correctly. The tab/arrow keys simply skip over the entire QWinWidget (and all child controls). Even if I click inside the QWinWidget and select a control, the next time I press the tab key, it skips the focus completely out of the entire QWinWidget.

I noticed that the QWinWidget has two functions, QWinWidget::focusNextPrevChild and QWinWidget::focusInEvent and both of them have a comment header saying "\reimp". Am I supposed to override these functions in order to get correct tab functionality? If so, how can these functions be implemented for correct tab functionality.

I have fixed the keyboard input issue. The QWinWidget class needed some changes:

in the QWinWidget::init method, the WS_TABSTOP must be added to the window style:

SetWindowLong(winId(), GWL_STYLE, WS_CHILD | WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_TABSTOP);

SetWindowLong(winId(), GWL_STYLE, WS_CHILD | WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_TABSTOP);

Also, the QWinWidget::winEvent method needs to respond to the WM_GETDLGCODE to let Windows know that it is interested in receiving key/tab inputs. I had to add this if block:

if(msg->message == WM_GETDLGCODE)
{
   *result = DLGC_WANTARROWS | DLGC_WANTTAB;
   return(true);
}

if(msg->message == WM_GETDLGCODE)
{
   *result = DLGC_WANTARROWS | DLGC_WANTTAB;
   return(true);
}

I am still working on getting the widget to paint properly.
