"OK" key event

[hainingwu]

I want to catch the key event of the "ok" key. (The key in the middle of the four arrow keys.) The document here (http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...y_events_in_Qt) says the corresponding code should be EKeyDevice3 (63557). However, I couldn't catch the key event. I successfully caught the event of arrow keys, though. Does anyone know the reason? Thank you!

Do you get any key event for that button?

[hainingwu]

No. I've tried EKeyEnter, EKeyTab as well, but none of them worked.

You can add a qDebug()-statement to the key handler that handle all key events before the switch and see wether it triggers. If yes, you can output the keycode and look into the header file or documentation to get the enum alias. Either way, E** do not look like Qt constants but constants from symbian. These should be avoided when developing Qt applications.

Now I am sure the code of the OK key is 63557. I think the problem is that when the focus is on a QListWidget, I couldn't catch the event. The event was caught by QListWidget and it jumps into a new page. What I want is to jump into my desired page when the user press the OK key. How do I prevent the event to be caught by QListWidget?

You would use an eventFilter on the list widget. Btw. I strongly suggest not to use a QListWidget but a QListView and write a model for your application.

Hi hainingwu,

Did you get a solution to your problem? Please post it here in case you have got....

I am facing the same issue....I need to open another page when the user selects the ListWidget item.
But I am not getting any event at that point.

What about listening for QListWidget::itemSelectionChanged () signal?

Hi divanov,

I did try with that, QListWidget::itemSelectionChanged () .

But I want to execute some code when a list item gets selected and not when it changes (i.e on scrolling up and down arrow keys).

I tried many other signals like itemClicked, itemPressed etc.. but these will happen on 'clicking' on the list item, and not when the item is selected and I press the OK key.

Any suggestions?

I have solved it finally. The answer lies here: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...466#post703466
