How to get child QGraphicsItem to ignore input events

patrickkidd

I feel like I should know this by now, but is there a way to have a child QGraphicsItem pass all input events to its parent?

Right now I have a parent item that draws a simple shape and a child QGraphicsTextItem that just draws a number in the middle of that shape. The child is grabbing mouse events so that I can't drag the parent. I just want the child to ignore or pass all input events on to the parent.

Thanks!

Close, but as far as I can tell this method would prevent dragging of some child items. Some of my child items are still meant to be draggable. I am looking to prevent input from only a subset of items.

I think (take it with a grain of salt), that if you filter out the event, you accept() it, but if you don't and call the base implementation of event() you should see it sink to the child.
