[SOLVED] QWidget - Disable child focus

maximus

I was wondering if there is an attribute that can be set to disable child focus on a QWidget.

Let me explain, I would like my childs (QLabel, QPushButton, etc.) not to keep focus after they received it. For example, if I click a QPushButton, I want it to loose focus right after.
Reason : My main QWidget has "hotkeys" that are only fired when it has focus.

Code for hotkeys (event filter set on QDialog) :

  bool WorkoutDialog::eventFilter(QObject *watched, QEvent *event) {

    Q_UNUSED(watched);
    if(event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress) {
        QKeyEvent *keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent*>(event);
        if(keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_Enter || keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_Return ) {
            start_or_pause_workout();
            return true; // mark the event as handled
        }
        else if (keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_Up) {
            emit increaseDifficulty();
            return true;
        }
        else if (keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_Down) {
            emit decreaseDifficulty();
            return true;
        }
        else if (keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_Backspace) {
            lapButtonPressed();
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Solved by setting this on all child I don't want focus
Works for now. Probably an easier way i'm missing?
e.g : QWidget.childs->setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);

ui->pushButton_calibrateFEC->setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);
ui->pushButton_calibratePM->setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);
ui->pushButton_config->setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);
ui->pushButton_minimize->setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);
ui->pushButton_expand->setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);
ui->pushButton_start->setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);
ui->pushButton_lap->setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);
ui->pushButton_exit->setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);

Hi,

What about findChildren of type QPushButton ? You can then use a loop to set the focus policy
