QGraphicsItem and hover event

Question

I have reimplemented the hoverEnterEvent but for some reason it is not called :-( My method is very simple at this point:

void LinteItem::hoverEnterEvent(QGraphicsSceneHoverEvent * event) { qDebug("Mouse hovered"); QGraphicsItem::hoverEnterEvent(event); }

I have set mouseTracking on the view. I'm able to place new LinteItems using mouseMove etc so I know the tracking works.

I have the following in the constructor:

setFlags(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsSelectable | QGraphicsItem::ItemIsMovable | QGraphicsItem::ItemSendsGeometryChanges); setAcceptHoverEvents(true);

Any idea why I do not receive the events? I'm using Qt 5.5 btw

It should work if your overriding custom QGraphicsView mouse event handlers call the original handlers of the base class, for example

void CustomGraphicsView::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *event) { // do something... // send the event to graphics scene and items QGraphicsView::mouseMoveEvent(event); }
