Disable multiple selection in QGraphicsScene
-
Hi,
I add few QGraphicsItem in QGraphicsScene. For each item I set the flag
setFlags(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsSelectable);. Now when I launch the application and pick few items while CTRL is hold then I get every pressed item is selected.
Is there a way to disable multiple selection? -
Hi,
I don't think there's an easy way to do that. One possibility would be to subclass QGraphicsView and re-implement its mousePressEvent. Create a new QMouseEvent object that is the copy of the one you are getting minus the modifier and then call the base class implementation with that new event.

@SGaist Thank you for response
Is there a significant difference whether to implement mousePressEvent in QGraphicsView or in QGraphicsScene class? -
I have another similar question.
I implemented few movable items and there is interesting things. When there is a selected item on the scene and I fast move the mouse without stop and click and hold mouse_1 on the unselecteditem then I move both items: the item I hold and an item is selected (like my computer has no time to change selected item and move the both)
Is there a way to overcome this?I tried to use QThread::sleep() in MyItem::itemChange() this helps but no matter how long is sleep parameter the selected item still do a little position change (few millimeters and the it stops)
The same result I get if I implement in in MyItem::itemChange():scene()->clearSelection(); this->setSelected(true);This happens in both debug and release mode

Because the extended selection is implemented in the
QGraphicsView::mousePressEvent. -

As for your next question, I wonder if you are not triggering the rubber band selection somehow. You can try to disable it.
Note: it's never a good idea to put your main thread to sleep because you are going to block the event from processing events and thus make your GUI somewhat unresponsive.

@SGaist thank you for reply
I didn't use rubber band selection (at least I didn't write the code with somehow similar to it)
I decided to turn off the selection flag and do my own "selection" when the item is clicked (setPen wider).Sorry for answering so late.
