Redirect mouse events from a dialog to its parent

[juanchoc]

Hi,

I'm trying to re-implement the mousePress event handler in a dialog, and send the events received by it to its parent widget.

I've tryied posting the event to the parent QObject (a widget), and also sending the event (QApplication::sendEvent), but with no success.

void MyDialog::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event) {
    this->close();
    QApplication::postEvent(this->parent, event);
}

The idea is that when the dialog receives a mousePressEvent, it closes itself and forwards the mouse event to the parent widget .

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
JCC.

If you ignore() a mousePressEvent, it's automatically passed to the parent.
