QGraphicsItem
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
QGraphicsItem is not a QWidget. Due to this, I cannot set my context
menu for that
particular graphic item by setContextMenuPolicy. I have to look at the
mouse current position, check if
any graphics item is below it and then show the current contextmenu from
QGraphicsView, which is a QWidget.
Wouldnt it be better, if each GraphicsItem could itself handle its own
context menu ?
Maybe there is a way to do it, if yes, would someone tell me how ?
Thnx

Hi Prateek,
is it an option to subclass QGraphicsItem as it is done in the
API-documentation?
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qgraphicsitem.html#contextMenuEvent
That's the easiest way I think...
As you can see, the QGraphicsItem is no QObject, so it has no mechanism
to send signals, so there is no method like
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qwidget.html#customContextMenuRequested
That's at least how I understand it.
Hope that helps, regards
Daniel
