Hi Folks, I am creating a dialog that displays among other things a list view, where a user can create a new item and enter its text but cannot rename/modify an existing item. How can I get the key press event of the rename box, i.e. for example if the user clicks the < new item > button and I create a new entry which has a default value and do a start rename on that item, how I can get the keys which the user types into that line edit? I am asking this to bound check the length of the string the user can enter and also do other validation stuff. I see that the keyPressEvent of the listView does not handle these events. Is there any other way for me to statically set my preference using ListViewItem class?? Thanks, Subramanian
There are special event handlers on views in 3.3 that start with contents... So you want contentsMousePressEvent(..). These methods are all inherited from QScrollView

Hi Folks,
I am creating a dialog that displays among other things a list view, where a user can create a new item and enter its text but cannot rename/modify an existing item.
How can I get the key press event of the rename box, i.e. for example if the user clicks the < new item > button and I create a new entry which has a default value and do a start rename on that item, how I can get the keys which the user types into that line edit? I am asking this to bound check the length of the string the user can enter and also do other validation stuff.
I see that the keyPressEvent of the listView does not handle these events. Is there any other way for me to statically set my preference using ListViewItem class??

Hi Justin, Thanks, for ur reply. But don't I need contentsKeyPressEvent?? Because while renaming a ListViewItem , the user would be typing in right? I figured a worst hack which am not sure will work, QListView::startRename installs QListView object as an eventFilter to the line edit, I am thinking of reimplementing eventFilter and filtering out the dubious key presses by returning true and also key presses that exceed my proposed length. I figure that contentsDoubleClick is meant to be the right event cos double click set up rename , but I implement a simple view where a user on pressing new item creates a default entry new item, with startRename on that and I do not allow renames of existing items. What do you think about this?
