[SOLVED] Make children of QGraphicsItemGroup unselectable

Make children of QGraphicsItemGroup unselectable

In my app I am using the Graphics View framework and I am creating a lot of QGraphicsItemGroup. For example one group represents a text frame with some squares to resize the frame and another is a group of points representing a brush stroke. I am implementing a selection tool similar to the one you can find in Adobe Photoshop or Indesign. I implemented it as follow:

In my scene I use the function itemAt(pos, transform) with pos being the current position of my mouse.
Plus I called setFiltersChildEvents(True) in all the groups

However the item returned by itemAt is sometimes just a child of the group itself. Is there a way to make the function itemAt() returning the group of the item ? Or in another way, to make those children unselectable.

Solution

If you are looking to get the group of the item

Below method available for QGraphicsItem, which returns QGraphicsItemGroup. Use this group object and set the desired.

PySide6.QtWidgets.QGraphicsItem.group()
