Subclassing QWidget or QTreeView - which one to choose?
-
I want to make a directory tab.
If i subclass QWidget and make an object called view in directory.h file:
QTreeView *view = new QTreeView;
and add that to a layout in another file where the class i made isDirectory *dir_view = new Directory;
like this:tab_layout->addWidget(dir_view->view);
Then everything works like it should, I get this nice tree view in my mainwindowNow comes the problem, since I have to capture keypressevents when user is focused on QTreeView, then I need to subclass QTreeView instead of QWidget
I changed my directory class to subclass QTreeView, instead of QWidget and changed all other stuff accordingly, but now
tab_layout->addWidget(dir_view);is not displaying any widget.
when i do dir_view.show() after that statement then a window appears and dissapears instantly.What could be the cause of this?

@Fuchsiaff
Sub-classingQWidgetin itself is not going to get you anywhere. If you need to sub-class, it will beQTreeViewyou will need to do it on. I think we would need to see what you did for that before understanding how it does not display or appears & disappears.BTW, what is your "directory tab"/
tab_layout? AQBoxLayout? AQStackedLayout? AQTabWidget? AQStackedWidget... ? -
Alright so:
I have a Tabs class that handles showing directory and adding a new tab to the layout:
https://github.com/Fuchsiaff/PyPad_2/blob/master/Sources/tabs.cppDirectory tab is just a QWidget in that code, and that works but the way I need to use it (capture keypressevents when user selects a file in the directory tab and presses a certain key) then i need to make Directory a QTreeView
I hope this is enough information!

Hi,
If only key press events en depending on what you want to do with them, an event filter might be enough.
