Hello,

apparently I am doing something wrong as I can't catch left, right, up and down keys pressed events in my QT app.

Class is derived from QMainWindow

class CMainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
...

void CMainWindow::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event)
{
	qDebug()<<event->key();
	QMainWindow::keyPressEvent(event);
        event->accept();
}

 When I press these keys I always have QT::Key_ESC code here. Tested in QT Builder and having the same behaviour. Qt experts please advise.

Thanks,

BGmot.

Hi BGmot,

I am afraid I am not much help here as I have not messed around with any key events in Qt c++.

Here is the docs, I am sure you have already been through this though...

http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qkeyevent.html

Here is a basic example:

I have had input issues with Qt widgets that turned out to be a focus issue, be sure the widget that you want to accept input has focus.

Good Luck!

Hi Jon,

no, it's not a focus related issue as I *am receiving* events it's just event->key() returns Escape code instead of cursor movement keys codes.

Thanks anyway.
