I have reimplemented mousePressEvent inside of a QGLWidget. It never gets called.

I have also reimplemented mouseMoveEvent in the same widget (as recounted in an earlier post). It gets called satisfactorily.

I dont think there is anything odd about my function:

Qt Code: 
  1. void ImageGLView::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
  2. {
  3.     if(FLOATING_DOT == mouseMode){
  4.         QPoint currentPos = event->pos();
  5.         lastPos = currentPos;
  6.     }
  7.  
  8. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and here is the .h
Qt Code: 
  1. protected:
  2.  
  3.     void initializeGL();
  4.     void paintGL();
  5.  
  6.     void mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent  *event);
  7.     void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent  *event);
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Is there something special I need to know about reimplementing mousePressEvents? I tried implementing it on the parent of my QGLWidget, and it indeed got called when I clicked in the non-covered up part of the parent--

I am setting stereo mode on the QGLWidget, but it doesn't seem to make any difference when I dont do so.

I'm baffled, and would greatly appreciate any help. My apologies if this seems like a repost, but my last query was asking for help with mouseMoveEvent, and after I solved my move problem and posed my press problem, I never got any responses
