QGraphicsProxyWidget can't be moved

papillon

Hello, I'm wondering if you could help me out understand why a QGraphicsProxyWidget can't be selected/moved into my scene (see code below):

@
QGroupBox *groupBox = new QGroupBox("Contact Details");
QLabel *numberLabel = new QLabel("Telephone number");
QLineEdit *numberEdit = new QLineEdit;
QFormLayout *layout = new QFormLayout;
layout->addRow(numberLabel, numberEdit);
groupBox->setLayout(layout);
QGraphicsProxyWidget *proxy = scene->addWidget(groupBox);
proxy->setFlag(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsMovable);
proxy->setFlag(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsSelectable);
@

while I can successfully select and move around a paintable object:

@
QGraphicsPathItem *myItem = new QGraphicsPathItem(0, scene);
QPainterPath p;
p.addRoundedRect(-50, -15, 100, 30, 5, 5);
myItem->setPath(p);
myItem->setPen(QPen(Qt::darkGreen));
myItem->setBrush(Qt::green);
myItem->setFlag(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsMovable);
myItem->setFlag(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsSelectable);
@

Thanks

Thanks. So if I understand it correctly, I need to subclass QGraphicsProxyWidget and override mouse events.
