Triggering action by click ouside a widget

Bert59

I have th following layout

When I click on a plot it is displayed with a thicker line to visualize that it is selected. I can then delete it with the delete button.
For each serie I add to the chart I create a connection to a slot which increases the thickness of the plot.
connect(serie, &QLineSeries::clicked, this, &AtollMain::handleClickedPlot);

After a plot has been selected I would like to unselect it when I click anywhere of the Graph or outside the GraphicsView.

I tried to reimplement the mousePressEvent for the QGraphicsView for unselecting plots, but then when I click on a plot the connection previously setup doesn't work and I cannot select a plot.

How could I achieve what I'm looking for?

Hi
When you override the mouse press, you must still call
the base class mouse press - as else some feature might break.

If you know if you have something selected, then you could use
something like

void QGraphicsView::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *e) {
if (somethingSelected)
  deselect(); // however, it must happen
else
  QGraphicsView::mousePressEvent(e); // call base class so it can still select stuff
}

Thank you very munch.
As a beginner with Qt I always forget that you have to forward the unhandled events.
