How can I toggle the QPen color for the selected graphicsview items? Ideally I would like to handle this color change in the graphicsview or graphics scene objects rather than directly handling it in the main windows selection event.
Any help is appreciated. Currently it will turn the pen color white when the object is selected. I'm not sure how to turn it back avoiding looping through all objects.
Is there a way i could add a function in the MyGraphicsView class itself that would handle the color change of the pen for any and all selected items in the graph?
Update: More detailed information Here is a list of the selection issues I'm trying to resolve:
- When a user clicks and makes a selection rectangle it should deselect all items, restoring them to their default Pen color. The newly selected items should have a white Pen color. If the user is holding control it should add the newly selected items. If items are already selected and the rectangle crosses over them, it should still keep them selected.
- If a user clicks in a negative area where no item appears under the cursor, it should clear the current selection.
- If a user clicks on an item it should select it and make the Pen color white.
- If the user is holding control it should always add to the selection.
