this is the keyPressEvent function but can't get keycode.
Please help me
-------------------------------------------------------------
void getKeyCode::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event) {
switch(event->key()){
case Qt::Key_Up:
centerLabel->setText(tr("Press ↑"));
break;
case Qt::Key_Left:
centerLabel->setText(tr("Press ←"));
break;
case Qt::Key_Right:
centerLabel->setText(tr("Press →"));
break;
case Qt::Key_Down:
centerLabel->setText(tr("Press ↓"));
break;
case Qt::Key_0:
centerLabel->setText(tr("Press 0"));
break;
}
QString str;
str.setNum(event->key());
centerLabel->setText(str);
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello fedorax,
This is a virtual function to the widget that has focus. There isn't enough information here to really tell what your doing or how this is implemented. However, I would recommend that you pass the event along even though the documentation may say differently.
Junior
thx to reply
this is the source code.
I want to get keycode or match Qt::Key_Up.
and for exampe move to charactor to go up or go left as game!
I see 'portedasteroids' that's sample program.
this sample source is connect action to arrow key.
but I want to match arrow key only key press event function better.

fedorax,
Changed a few things to get this to work for you, however note that if the pushbutton has focus, the arrow keys will not be filtered. To ensure all events are filtered from the application you would need to investigate on installing a global event filter (installEventFilter()).
