keyPressEvent not being driven

[Perdrix]

I'm clearly missing a crucial piece of setup for a custom QWidget.

The ctor says:

	setFocusPolicy(Qt::StrongFocus);		// Make sure we get key events.

but the keyPressEvent mf() is never driven :(

protected:
	void keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent * event) override;

What have I missed?

Thanks

Your custom widget must have the focus.

Well I clicked on it and that should have given it focus (shouldn't it)?

Can anyone clarify what I need to do to get those events

Thanks

@Perdrix
I don't know, but you may not be getting any responses because nobody thinks there ought be any problem? Are you able to test just this in a totally standalone program, not with whatever you have in your current application?

@JonB I can make the source of the custom Widget available to play with if you wish - you'd just need to stick into a main window or dlg.

let me know if you'd like me to do that and I'll stick a small zip file somewhere you can grab it from.
