keyPress event: ignore or accept

[Luigi Ferraris]

Hi Pritpal,
I need your help to remember about events: stop and/or propagation.

I have a form with one and only one widget: a QLineEdit. QLineEdit is connected to: QEvent_KeyPress event and "textEdited(QString)" signal.

I want (e.g.):
- reject the "0" (zero) WITHOUT stop the event handler. Is out of any logic?
- reject the "1" and stop the event handler.

Anyway, here a snipped code
METHOD __my_QKeyPress( oKeyEvent ) CLASS something

   LOCAL nKey := oKeyEvent:key()

   IF nKey == Qt_Key_0
      oKeyEvent:ignore()
      RETURN .F.
   ENDIF

   IF nKey == Qt_Key_1
      oKeyEvent:ignore()
      RETURN .T.
   ENDIF

   // any other key will be accepted, so
   oKeyEvent:accept()

RETURN .F.

Related with "1" works fine: QlineEdit doesn't get "1"
Related with "0" it doesn't works because QLineEdit get "0"

If I remember well, I can't use currentHbQtObject:keyPressEvent( oKeyEvent ) to call the base class: right?

TIA

Hi Luigi

Sorry for delay.

Please refer to hbqtwidgets/getsys.prg and related sources.

How events are handled in QLineEdit are clearly demonstrated

in that code. It is really difficult to rely on our standard key handeling 

mechanism as far as QLineEdit is concerned as many keys are filtered 

by Qt itself.
