Capturing hover events for a QGraphicsRectItem

[hellozee]

Did setAcceptHoverEvents(true) in the constructor and implemented,

void hoverEnterEvent(QGraphicsSceneHoverEvent *event);
void hoverMoveEvent(QGraphicsSceneHoverEvent *event);
void hoverLeaveEvent(QGraphicsSceneHoverEvent *event);

But still the QGraphicsRectItem is not capturing the hover events? Am I missing something?

BoundingRectItem::BoundingRectItem()
{
    setFlag(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsMovable);
    _transformMode = false;
    _width         = 0;
    _height        = 0;
    setAcceptHoverEvents(true);
}
...
...
void BoundingRectItem::hoverEnterEvent(QGraphicsSceneHoverEvent *event)
{
    event->accept();
    qDebug() << "yeah";
}

void BoundingRectItem::hoverLeaveEvent(QGraphicsSceneHoverEvent *event)
{
    event->accept();
    qDebug() << "yeah";
}

void BoundingRectItem::hoverMoveEvent(QGraphicsSceneHoverEvent *event)
{
    event->accept();
    qDebug() << "yeah";
}

Here is the complete source and the header file for the implemented QGraphicsRectItem

@hellozee
you need to make sure that also boundingRect() shape() returns a plausible value for your custom item
So either you reimplement this method yourself or (suggested) you need to set the rect also to the base class (QGraphicsRectItem::setRect())
