[SOLVED] how to capture the ctrl + c in the eventfilter?

kalster

i am having problems capturing a Qmenu shortcut in a Qplaintextedit. the problem is when i set the menu item to ctrl + c and click that menu item, nothing happens in the plaintextedit eventfilter. below is the code to try to resolve this issue but nothing happens at all. if i use the short cut of ctrl without the "c" then it works but with the "c" it does not work. help please. thank you in advanced. below is my code.

@bool MainWindow::eventFilter(QObject *object, QEvent *event)
{
if (object == plainTextEdit && event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress)
{
QKeyEvent *keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent *>(event);

   if (keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_Control)
    {
        if (keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_C)
        // do something
        }
    } else
    {
        return QMainWindow::eventFilter(object, event);
    }
}
else
{
    return QMainWindow::eventFilter(object, event);
}

You should try:

@
if(keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_C && keyEvent->modifiers().testFlag(Qt::ControlModifier))
{
// eat the ctrl-c which is cmd-c on the mac
}
