I am new in qt and c++. I have a qgraphicsview to plot signal. I would zoom specific area with mouse clicking and rectangle drawing. So I need mouse pressed position and dragged position. For this I do such this:
in header file:
#include <QtWidgets/QMainWindow>
#include <QGraphicsScene>
#include <QMouseEvent>
#include <QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent>
#include "ui_QtGuiApplication.h"
class QtGuiApplication : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
QtGuiApplication(QWidget *parent = Q_NULLPTR);
protected:
void mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent* event);
void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent* event);
bool eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *ev);
private:
Ui::QtGuiApplicationClass ui;
QPoint Zoom_point1_;
QPoint Zoom_point2_;
QGraphicsScene* scene = new QGraphicsScene();
};
in source file:
QtGuiApplication::QtGuiApplication(QWidget *parent)
: QMainWindow(parent)
{
ui.setupUi(this);
ui.graphicsView->installEventFilter(this);
ui.graphicsView->setMouseTracking(true);
}
bool QtGuiApplication::eventFilter(QObject * obj, QEvent * ev)
{
if (obj == ui.graphicsView)
if (ev->type() == QEvent::MouseMove)
{
QMouseEvent *mEvent = (QMouseEvent*)ev;
Zoom_point2_ = mEvent->pos();
}
return false;
}
void QtGuiApplication::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent * ev)
{
Zoom_point2_ = ev->globalPos();
//do some thing …
}
void QtGuiApplication::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent * ev)
{
Zoom_point1_ = ev->globalPos();
}
When I press and move mouse in graphicsview, I can recognize the clicked position but mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent * ev)
never be called. and also obj == ui.graphicsView
statement in eventFilter
never be occurred.What's wrong with me? How can I fix it?
By Installing event filter on the viewport of the QgraphicsView object such as
ui.graphicsView->viewport()->installEventFilter(this);
and adding below condition on eventfilter
if (ui.graphicsView->viewport())
if (ev->type() == QEvent::MouseMove)
{
QMouseEvent *mEvent = (QMouseEvent*)ev;
Zoom_point2_ = mEvent->pos();
}
problem solved.
