Event QComboBox to Custom QLineEdit










0
















The Problem: I have a custom event on QLineEdit inside a custom QComboBox and only specific events are being passed from QComboBox to QLineEdit when I want. I can't get tab to be passed.



I want when an event passed to QComboBox it will be passed to the QComboBox->lineEdit().



QCustomCombo::QCustomCombo():
m_lineEdit(new QCustomLineEdit)

setEditable(true);
setLineEdit(m_lineEdit);


bool QCustomCombo::event(QEvent * event)

if(event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress)

QKeyEvent * keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent *>(event);
if(keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_tab)

//pass to lineEdit();
//I have tried 'return true/false and QWidget::event(event)'
//I have also tried commenting out QCustomCombo::event, same problem


return QWidget::event(event);



QCustomLineEdit



bool QCustomLineEdit::event(QEvent * event)

if(event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress)

QKeyEvent * keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent *>(event);
if(keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_tab)

//Do custom Stuff
return true;

if(keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_Right)

//Do custom Stuff
return true;


return QWidget::event(event);



The QLineEdit has a custom event for left and right arrow and tab. Only the arrows get passed. But I can't get the tab to pass to it.

          • How do I get access to qApp functions? I tried QCustomCombo : private QApplication, but that breaks my connect() lines. The QCombo is located inside a mainwindow.cpp created by a main.cpp (main.cpp is where I have QApplication instance).

          • @DevilGale it is not necessary to inherit, just include the header: #include <QApplication>. QApplication::instance() is a singleton that can be used with the qApp macro.

          installEventFilter() is your friend here. It allows object A to install an event filter on another object B, so that before object B's event(QEvent *) method gets called, object A's eventFilter(QObject *, QEvent *) method will be called first, so that object A can decide how to handle the event (and whether or not the event should be passed on to object B afterwards).



          You can use that so that your CustomCombo can see and react to events that would otherwise go directly to the `QComboBox.
